In Luke's account of the Lord's Prayer, when Jesus says, “And he said to them, ‘When you pray…’,” the implication is that Jesus assumes his disciples pray. This indicates that he expects prayer to be a regular part of their lives as followers and that he is providing them with guidance on how to pray. The other options do not align with the context of Jesus’ teaching on prayer in this passage.
