From Matthew and Luke’s accounts of the Lord’s Prayer, we might reasonably conclude that Jesus used the Lord’s Prayer as an example more than once. Both gospel accounts present variations of the prayer, indicating that it was likely used in different contexts or teachings. This suggests that Jesus wanted his followers to have a model for prayer, and the differences may reflect the unique emphases or audiences of Matthew and Luke.
