Luke 11:2

"When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”"

Key Reflection

In Luke 11:2, after Jesus concluded a prayer in a particular location, one of his disciples approached him, seeking instruction on how to pray. This request echoes the tradition that John the Baptist had taught his own disciples, suggesting a parallel between the teachings of John and Jesus. The original audience would have understood this as part of a broader pattern where spiritual leaders passed on their knowledge to followers, highlighting the continuity in religious practice and instruction during the time of Jesus.
