− | Prayer is a form of communication with God, our Creator, through which we can say thanks, or ask forgiveness for our sins. Personal prayer is a method of talking to God without everyone watching, just you and Him.

− | The significance of the differences between the two versions depend on the translation you use. Some commentators point out that Jesus taught this prayer twice, on two different occasions. Matthew records the Lord's Prayer as given on the Sermon on the Mount, while Luke records the Lord's Prayer when the Master was asked to teach the disciples how to pray, much later than the Sermon on the Mount message.

− | Even if Jesus repeated the same prayer, word for word, the versions written down may not be identical because the Bible writers used thought inspiration, not dictation. The order is the same in both versions, and so are the thoughts. The exception is the last line which is found in some, but not other, manuscripts.

He also taught on the importance of prayer (Mt 21:22)(Mk 11:24-26)(Mt 7:7-11)(Lk 11:9-13)(Jn 14:13-14)(Jn 15:7,16)(Jn 16:23-24)(Mt 5:44)(Lk 6:27-28)(Mt 6:5-15: including the Lord's Prayer)(Lk 11:2-4)(Mt 18:19-20).

− | Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

− | This story told by Jesus contrasts two prayers - one by a self confident religious person and another by a tax collector, presumably who cheated people and certainly was hated by his fellow Jews for collaborating with the Romans. The first person prayed publicly to show off his good deeds. He did not believe he needed forgiveness! The tax collector simply sought mercy from God, admitting he was a sinner.

− | We do not know under what circumstances Jesus told this story, perhaps he told it over and over as he traveled from town to town. In the 2014 movie ''Son of God,'' Jesus is portrayed telling this story to a Pharisee (who likely prayed the first prayer himself) in front of Matthew's tax collection table. Matthew mouths the words of the tax collector's prayer along with Jesus, clearly recognizing himself in the parable.
