[[John the Baptist]] had taught his followers several [[prayers]]; all great teachers had [[formulated]] prayers for their [[pupils]]. The religious [[teachers]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] had some twenty-five or thirty set prayers which they [[recited]] in the [[synagogue]]s and even on the street corners.
