Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
With love in Christ.

I won't get "best answer" but I'd like to add a comment.
One of the answers up there ^^^^ suggests that Jesus was teaching them "how" to pray. And this is exactly right.
Many many churches today do not use the Lord's Prayer in the services because the wording reflects the context of the Old Testament rules.
For example, the line "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" does not reflect New Testament rules since we've already been forgiven and it's not dependant on us forgiving others.
Several of the lines are OT rules. And, no, I'm not trying to crash on the Lords Prayer .. I'm just commenting practices of the churches today.
Interesting, nu?

It's called the Lord's Prayer. You can find where Jesus taguht it to the disciples in Matthew 6:9-13.
'Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever, Amen.

"Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the Kingdom
And the power
And the glory
Forever, Amen."
That is the traditional prayer which is "out of the Bible" and it is usually cited in Old English. However, the version in the Bible is found in Matthew 6.
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one"
Denominations have a tendency of adding the extra stuff in even though it's not what Jesus said.

Commonly known as the "Our Father" prayer, found in the Bible at Matthew 6:3, beginning with verse 9. Jesus did not mean for us to use the prayer "verbatum" (or word for word exactly as in reciting it over & over again), but was teaching his disciples the correct way to pray and how to approach his Father, Jehovah God and correct things to pray for. This wording is taken from the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.
9 YOU must pray, then, this way:
“‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10 Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth. 11 Give us today our bread for this day; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one.’
Jesus put emphasis on the sanctification of God's name (Jehovah) and the establishment of God's heavenly Kingdom government (over which God has appointed Jesus as King) to extend it's rule to the Earth. It is this Kingdom that will soon intervene in mankind's affairs and bring true peace and security to our Earth. People in general are praying for this kingdom when they recite the "Our Father" prayer, but it is critical that we understand exactly what it is that we are praying for.
In any event, Jehovah God will indeed answer this request for his Kingdom to come and we should take every opporutunity NOW to learn as much as we can about it. Thank you.

I would guess it to be:
Matthew 6:9-13
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, And lead US not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
This is Jesus teaching on prayer.You might want to read the whole 6th chapter.

Its interesting that alot of people(most) know at least part of "the
our father"or lords prayer.but most dont know what it really means.
Jesus is telling his diciples how they should pray, to be heard by
God.he says "our father in the heavens",now notice..he says "let
your NAME be sanctified" what is Gods name?it isnt LORD,nor
GOD,GOD and Lord are what he is,they are not his name.so in
order for his name to be sanctified it has to be known and used by
his worshippers.JEHOVAH is that name it is called "the model"
prayer"next is for Gods will to take place on earth as it does in heaven...after that you may ask after your daily needs.

It is what is commonly known as "the Lord's Prayer." You can find it in Matthew 6. "'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one" (Mattew 6:9-13).
Jesus actually gave us those words as a model of how to pray rather than what to pray. I'd like to take a minute and talk about the most important thing the Bible teaches.
We can never be saved because of what we do; we can only be saved because of what Jesus Christ has already done for us. Let me explain.
Our greatest problem can be put in one word: sin. Sin cuts us off from God, and sin also keeps us out of heaven. But how can we get rid of our sins? We can't erase them or cause them to disappear by ourselves; we don't have the power. The only way we can get rid of our sins is for someone to come along and take them away for us.
And that is exactly what Jesus Christ did for us. We are weighed down by the burden of our sins—but Jesus took that burden upon Himself when He died on the cross for us. To put it another way, He took the punishment we deserve when He went to the cross in our place. The Bible says, "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God" (1 Peter 3:18).
What must you do? Simply believe that Christ has taken away your sins, and then receive Him into your heart and life. The Bible's promise is for you: "To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). Become God's child today by asking Christ to come into your life.
