Contextual Overview

¹Jesus was praying one day, and one of the twelve cowboys came up and asked him to teach them how to pray. ²Jesus said, "This is how you should pray, 'Dad, there is no name like yours. ³Let your outfit get here soon. Give us what we need to eat and ⁴forgive us of our sorry ways. We will also forgive others who are sorry toward us. And keep us from hanging up in the stirrup of temptation.'" ⁵Then he gave them a clinic on prayer and said, "Let's say you eat the last of the food you have in your house and some company shows up. You run over to the neighboring ranch and knock on the door. A cowboy opens it and asks what you want so late, and you ask to borrow a bag of beans to feed your visitor. ^{6 7}He shuts the door in your face and tells you to leave because everyone is asleep. ⁸But I'll say this, if you keep knocking on that door, he will give you a bag of beans just to make you go away. Persistence and boldness are the keys to prayer. ⁹"So I'm telling you to knock on the Boss's door until he answers and don't go away until he gives you what you need. ¹⁰Everyone who asks will get it, and everyone who knows where to look will find it. You knock, and the Boss will answer the door.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 6:9-13.

Luke 11:4

For we also forgive ... - This is somewhat different from the expression in Matthew, though the sense is the same. The idea is, that unless we forgive others, God will not forgive us; and unless we come to him “really” forgiving all others, we cannot expect pardon. It does not mean that by forgiving others we “deserve” forgiveness ourselves, or “merit it,” but that this is a disposition or state of mind without which God cannot consistently pardon us.

Every one that is indebted to us - Every one that has “injured” us. This does not refer to pecuniary transactions, but to offences similar to those which “we” have committed against God, and for which we ask forgiveness. Besides the variations in the “expressions” in this prayer, Luke has omitted the doxology, or close, altogether; and this shows that Jesus did nor intend that we should always use just this “form,” but that it was a general direction how to pray; or, rather, that we were to pray for these “things,” though not always using the same words.
