The Lord's Prayer
The Lords Prayer can be found in two places in the New Testament section of the bible:-
Matthew chapter 6, verses 9 - 13
9 So talk to your God like this: "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10 "May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 "Give us our food for today.
12 "Forgive us for the wrong things we have done, the way we forgive those who have done wrong things to us.
13 "Do not test us but help us, so that no one will make us do wrong. Deliver us from the evil one. The kingdom and power and praise belong to you for ever. Amen!"
and
Luke chapter 11, verses 1 - 4
1 One day Jesus was in a place talking with God. When he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, `Lord, teach us to talk with God as John taught his disciples.'
2 Jesus said, `When you talk with God, say, "Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your kingdom come.
3 Give us our food day by day.
4 Forgive us for the wrong things we have done. We forgive everyone who has done wrong to us. Do not lead us to be tested."
