Contextual Overview
1 One time Jesus was out praying, and when he finished, one of his followers said to him, "John taught his followers how to pray. Lord, teach us how to pray too." 2 Jesus said to the followers, "This is how you should pray: ‘Father, we pray that your name will always be kept holy. We pray that your kingdom will come. 3 Give us the food we need for each day. 4 Forgive our sins, just as we forgive everyone who has done wrong to us. And don't let us be tempted.'" 5Then Jesus said to them, "Suppose one of you went to your friend's house very late at night and said to him, ‘A friend of mine has come into town to visit me. But I have nothing for him to eat. Please give me three loaves of bread.' 7 Your friend inside the house answers, ‘Go away! Don't bother me! The door is already locked. My children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give you the bread now.' 8 I tell you, maybe friendship is not enough to make him get up to give you the bread. But he will surely get up to give you what you need if you continue to ask. 9 So I tell you, continue to ask, and God will give to you. Continue to search, and you will find. Continue to knock, and the door will open for you. 10 Yes, whoever continues to ask will receive. Whoever continues to look will find. And whoever continues to knock will have the door opened for them. 11 Do any of you have a son? What would you do if your son asked you for a fish? Would any father give him a snake?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto them,.... That is Jesus, as the Syriac and Persic versions express, who directed his speech to all the disciples; for though but one of them addressed him, it was in the name of the rest: and besides, the instructions Christ was about to give concerned them all, even those that heard them before, and those that had not:
when ye pray, say, our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth; the last petition is left out in the Vulgate Latin;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 6:9-13.
Luke 11:4
For we also forgive ... - This is somewhat different from the expression in Matthew, though the sense is the same. The idea is, that unless we forgive others, God will not forgive us; and unless we come to him âreallyâ forgiving all others, we cannot expect pardon. It does not mean that by forgiving others we âdeserveâ forgiveness ourselves, or âmerit it,â but that this is a disposition or state of mind without which God cannot consistently pardon us.
Every one that is indebted to us - Every one that has âinjuredâ us. This does not refer to pecuniary transactions, but to offences similar to those which âweâ have committed against God, and for which we ask forgiveness. Besides the variations in the âexpressionsâ in this prayer, Luke has omitted the doxology, or close, altogether; and this shows that Jesus did nor intend that we should always use just this âform,â but that it was a general direction how to pray; or, rather, that we were to pray for these âthings,â though not always using the same words.
