Contextual Overview

¹ One day Jesus had been praying in a certain place, and as soon as he had done, one of his disciples said to him, instruct us about prayer, as John the baptist instructed his disciples. ² he said therefore to them, when ye pray, say, "our father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come. thy will be done, on earth, as in heaven. ³ give us every day our portion of bread. ⁴ and forgive us our sins: since we forgive every one that has offended us. and leave us not under temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." ⁵ Then he said to them, suppose any of you should go to his friend at midnight; and say to him, friend, lend me three loaves: ⁶ for a friend of mine, a traveller, is come to my house, and I have nothing to entertain him with. ⁷ and he within should give this answer, don't trouble me now: the door is made fast, and my family are all in bed: I can't get up to supply you. ⁸ I tell you, tho' he will not rise, to supply him, out of friendship: yet out of regard to his importunity, he will rise, and lend him whatever he has occasion for. ⁹ I tell you likewise, ask, and it shall be given: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and the door shall be opened. ¹⁰ for every one that asketh, receives: he that seeketh, finds: and he that knocks has admittance.

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 “really” forgiving all others, we cannot expect pardon. It does not mean that by forgiving others we “deserve” forgiveness ourselves, or “merit it,” 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 “injured” us. This does not refer to pecuniary transactions, but to offences similar to those which “we” have committed against God, and for which we ask forgiveness. Besides the variations in the “expressions” 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 “form,” but that it was a general direction how to pray; or, rather, that we were to pray for these “things,” though not always using the same words.
