'''The Lord's Prayer''' (also called the ''Pater Noster'' or ''Our Father'') is a central [[prayer]] in [[Christianity]]. In the [[New Testament]] of the [[Christian Bible]], it appears in [[two]] forms: in the [[Gospel of Matthew]] as part of the [[discourse]] on ostentation in the [[Sermon on the Mount]], and in the [[Gospel of Luke]], which records [[Jesus]] being approached by "one of his disciples" with a request to teach them "to pray as John taught his disciples." The [[prayer]] concludes with "deliver us from evil" in Matthew, and with "lead us not into [[temptation]]" in Luke. The liturgical form is Matthean. Some Christians, particularly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism Protestants], conclude the [[prayer]] with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxology doxology], an addendum appearing in some [[manuscripts]] of Matthew.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_prayer]
