Twelve Bible Verses to Show How Jesus Prayed

[Icare]

1. Mark 1:35

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

2. Matthew 6:9-13

"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'

3. Matthew 11:25-26

At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

4. Matthew 14:23

After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

5. Luke 6:12

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

6. Luke 22:32

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."

7. Luke 22:41-44

He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

8. Luke 23:34

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

9. John 11:41-42

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."

10. John 12:27-28

"Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

11. John 17:1-26

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified. "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

12. Hebrews 5:7

During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.

第 1, 4, 5, 7 節, 耶穌是遠離開人群, 私下祈禱 。

可是，　在 1 Timothy 2:8
保羅卻是教人：
『我願意男人們在各地舉起聖潔的手祈禱，』

何解？

好问题！

我们仔细读一下这些经文，就会发现保罗没有说不得独自祷告，主耶穌也没有不在人群中或者人群前祷告。上面的十二段中，您提到的各条都是主耶穌独自祷告的例子，第二条是主耶穌教导门徒祷告的内容，其余各条，都是主耶穌在人群中或者人群前祷告的例子。


可以说主正是一个"在各地舉起聖潔的手祈禱"的榜样。

又可是，　
在馬太福音中，　耶穌卻是著人這樣祈禱：

『至於你，當你祈禱時，要進入你的內室，關上門，向你在暗中之父祈禱；你的父在暗中看見，必要報答你。』

 

[Icare]

马太福音
6:1你们要小心，不可将善事行在人的面前，故意叫他们看见。若是这样，就不能得你们天父的赏赐了。
6:2所以你施舍的时候，不可在你前面吹号，像那假冒为善的人，在会堂里和街道上所行的，故意要得人的荣耀。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
6:3你施舍的时候，不要叫左手知道右手所作的。
6:4要叫你施舍的事行在暗中，你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。（有古卷作必在明处报答你）
6:5你们祷告的时候，不可像那假冒为善的人，爱站在会堂里和十字路口上祷告，故意叫人看见。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
6:6你祷告的时候，要进你的内屋，关上门，祷告你在暗中的父，你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。
6:7你们祷告，不可像外邦人，用许多重复话。他们以为话多了必蒙垂听。
6:8你们不可效法他们。因为你们没有祈求以先，你们所需用的，你们的父早已知道了。
6:9所以你们祷告，要这样说，我们在天上的父，愿人都尊你的名为圣。
6:10愿你的国降临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。
6:11我们日用的饮食，今日赐给我们。
6:12免我们的债，如同我们免了人的债。
6:13不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶，（或作脱离恶者）因为国度，权柄，荣耀，全是你的，直到永远，阿们。（有古卷无因为至阿们等字）
6:14你们饶恕人的过犯，你们的天父也必饶恕你们的过犯。
6:15你们不饶恕人的过犯，你们的天父也必不饶恕你们的过犯。
6:16你们禁食的时候，不可像那假冒为善的人，脸上带着愁容。因为他们把脸弄得难看，故意叫人看出他们是禁食。我实在告诉你们，他们已经得了他们的赏赐。
6:17你禁食的时候，要梳头洗脸，
6:18不叫人看出你禁食来，只叫你暗中的父看见。你父在暗中察看，必然报答你。

 

[Icare]

看看这段完整的教导，我们可以看出"在内室祷告"是一个心态，是与法利赛人的"在人前祷告"的心态对比而说的。祷告不应该是为了得人的赞誉而是为了的神的垂听。

祷告也可以是为了见证，比如：
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."

既然祈禱是重心態，不是在於在給人看到或是要私下祈禱，那人又憑甚麼可以看到人的內心呢？

屬人性的耶穌有此能力看穿法利塞人在大街上祈禱是虚偽善？
難道在大街祈禱就不會是出於內心，向周圍的人表揚上主，「這是對他們有益處的」。
For the benefit of people standing here.

主耶酥是完全的人也是完全的神。他知道人的内心。

 

[beechan]

主耶酥是完全的人也是完全的神。他知道人的内心。

可是人不是耶穌，經常看錯，判錯了人。 例如但以理的母親在聖殿高聲禱告求子，卻給大司祭以為是神經病，飲醉酒。
不過上主卻悅納了禱聲。

是啊。所以主耶酥给我们的命令之一是＂不要论断人＂。他的教导是要我们自己去遵循而不是拿来检查别人的。
感谢主！

可是不少基督徒的通病正是太過去論斷人。
而　focus on today之「傳福音十誡」中，　竟也没有收納這誡。

谢谢提醒。这的确是一个比较普遍也比较难克服的问题。我想这也是主耶酥特别叮嘱的原因。

至于focus on today转的那个传福音十戒，其实好几条都有不论断人的因素在里面，只是没有直接指出来而已。再说那只是范学德弟兄个人感悟的总结，不可能面面俱到, 我们没有必要求全责备吧？
