Many of you have asked great questions about our translation of the Lord's Prayer. For example, why do we say "kingdom of the skies" instead of "kingdom of heaven?"
Our scholar team begins by translating the original Greek text of Jesus' prayer and comparing it to how other trustworthy biblical translation teams parse those same words and phrases. Their translation aims to preserve the literary design when identical words and repeated phrases appear in the Greek text by making them repeat similarly in English, no matter how often a word or phrase is used. They also try to use words and phrases that convey the same meaning but give new vitality to passages that have become overly familiarized. Some words may sound strange, but these translation choices are a more literal rendering of the Greek text into English.
If you're curious for more, Tim and Jon discuss the translation "kingdom of the skies" in a recent Question and Response podcast episode. You can check it out here (starting at 46:19): ua-cam.com/video/WUpZLLnc1mU/v-deo.htmlsi=av9x-dRAu9Ivn_Fz&t=2779
✝️❤️☦️
You're misinterpreting the text. Your "scholars" shouldn't be trying to reinterpret the text. They should be trying to keep its original format and remain true to what the word of God actually says. Your theology is wrong in that area. Your message is just confusing when you change the text to mean something it shouldn't. My second point of complaint is in the area where you suggest Jesus was tempted to sin, and that he had the thoughts from Satan to sin. That is a heresy and you blaspheme the word of God by teaching this fallacy. I suggest your scholars go back to their studies in Greek before continuing on in this tragedy.
Hi Can i ask permission to put some of your clips in my UA-cam shorts?
@@jesserodwell853 I get that, but I don’t think the translation is bad. I mean, you can automatically assume that kingdom of the skies means heaven.
@@jesserodwell853 Don't read your English Bible then if you want to remain the text in its original format. I don't see any misinterpretation there, unless you are overthinking.
I've never been good at praying. I don't know what to say, what to want, what I'm forgetting to be thankful for. I'm so thankful that Jesus provides us a simple prayer that covers everything at once. Acknowledgement of God's greatness and sovereignty, asking for provision, and hope going forward
If you don't want to pray that prayer, just pray as if God is a friend. He is a friend. Remember, God is still THE God of the Universe soooo...respect is still due. Don't call God bro or ntn like that.
It’s helped me to honestly ask God to give me words. I don’t like to say the same things over and over again when i’m just talking to Him and sometimes sitting in silence is such a good thing too! Ask Him and you shall receive!!
Rom 8:26-27 KJV 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
I just pray that God’s will be done and ask for the strength to be grateful as it unfolds ❤️
Pray the lords prayer ( a basic guide of praying) until you feel comfy or sit in silence with a thankful heart in His presence. Its all prayer. Orcread aloud a printed prayer by others who have focused prayers. Just be in his presence daily.He will see to everything else.
Completely random comment here, but as one who did not grow up in a Christian home, I have a, perhaps unique, appreciation for your videos. I can remember babysitting a little girl when I was a teenager. Her parents had toddler VHSs (yes, I'm that old) about Bible stories and even though they were made for kids, they taught me. Shortly after God saved me, I became a mom. Love it or hate it, I learned a lot from the VeggieTales with our son. Your videos are obviously deeper than these examples, but they make some of the tougher and/or confusing parts of the bible more accessible to the lay person. I turned 27 years old in Christ this month, but I still feel like a kid. All of that to say, thank you for what you do. It makes a difference, and I am grateful.
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way. We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
Loved reading this! Thank you so much for sharing! Learning to dive into Scripture is such a wonderful blessing and gift!
Very cool testimony. Everyone's story is different, but I wonder how many people have a similar one to yours. VeggieTales, Adventures in Odyssey, etc. were great quality teaching tools for youth. I'm going to go dig out my old Adventures in Odyssey!
Esv- Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." NIV- Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." MARK 10:15
Its great that you said you still feel like a child, we should approach the kingdom with childlike faith having full dependance and trust in God Our Father
Amen sister. I'm you found God the way you did. He called you that day 🙏
That ending sequence was like something out of a late 90's DreamWorks production. Bravo team! 👏
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
incredible
Agreed. It was quite special!!
"Forgiveness is like breathing." Powerful way to look at it I've never heard of before. We can't breath in without breathing out, we can't breath out without breathing in. As is forgiveness is the kingdom of God.
Thank you, team. A beautiful work.
Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
Yes! In order to truly receive and take in God's forgiveness, you have to be in the habit of giving it out ♥We are so overjoyed to have you on this journey with us!
I love this channel, it’s growing an amazing community we don’t even know. I love the teaching it is well written and very inspiring.
This is NOT a UA-cam channel quality, this is way beyond that, every fraction of your videos looks perfect and mesmerizing, your work should be shown on big screens!!
Praise the Lord for His work through this group.
i second this, a Bible project movie would be amazing
THAT SONG!!!! I've never heard the Lord's Prayer like that. Please put it on Spotify! Incredible.
Thanks for reaching out! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the new Sermon on the Mount video series.
We’d like to make the "Our Father" choral song from Episode 7 available for download, but since we worked with a group outside of BibleProject who arranged and recorded it, we don’t currently have the licensing rights to distribute it beyond this video or offer it as a downloadable song.
However, we’re currently checking to see if we can get permission to share it.
Otherwise, I recommend bookmarking the video for future listening or checking out other recorded variations of the prayer elsewhere. If you search “Abun d’Bashmayo” on UA-cam, there are many beautiful renditions of the song out there!
I hope this helps in the meantime!
I second this!
In addition to a recording, I would love to be able to purchase sheet music. I know of several choral groups who specialize in this sound and would jump at the opportunity to get it out in the world.
This series overall has been overwhelmingly potent in my life, and as a vocal musician this song just sent the experience over the top. Many thanks for your commitment to quality in literally everything I've seen in your content.
I'd be happy if it were for now, available on UA-cam as _just_ the song/prayer (no dialogue). Would LOVE to add it to a particular playlist :). VERY moving song.
i would also love to see if you guys have sheet music to it! 🙏
Dear friends, I come to you with a humble heart, asking for your prayers for my grandmother Justina who recently suffered a stroke. Your prayers mean more than words can express.Thank you, and may God bless you all!
In Jesus name
I rebuke the stroke
She receives healing for by His stripes we are healed
In Jesus name
Amen
Our father which is in heaven hallowed be thy name his kingdom come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day as our daily bread forgive us of our debts as we forgive our debtors amen
Let his will be done❤
In Jesus name I pray the Lord be with you all and you receive strength and she receives healing , amen!
God will not hurt me. God is not evil. Even if i give him chances he will not take it. He won't hurt me no matter what. What's hurting me is not him. Jesus is good.
I keep coming back to this. Each time, I weep when I hear ‘bread’
"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him. - Nahum 1:7"
Yes🙌
Loved the song with Aramaic writing and English text. Powerful and haughtingly beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear how the Sermon on the Mount series is impacting our audience.
Your words are perfect... hauntingly beautiful.
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
On earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen
this is how I say it too... glory to God
Amen ❤️
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
❤
Amen
Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. 🙏🏼
For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory
❤
temptation is different to test. God does not tempt. God does test.
@@julieannelefau2990It means situations of temptation
Ever since I was a kid, my parents had a tradition to pray the Lord’s Prayer with me every night before I went to bed. To this day, I still call them each night to pray. Learning about this prayer’s origin felt like rediscovering an old friend, and I want to thank you for providing this experience.
God bless this channel.
The Bible Project is ridiculously anointed, like I genuinely feel this sense of peace and love and calm and worship when I watch your videos, the way you depict heaven, emotions, earth and humans and God it just ALL MAKES SENSE FOR ONCE. I really do pray blessings over all of you guys for what you're doing for the kingdom of God. You truly are a treasure and such a pinnacle in my relationship with God. I love you guys so much. I never wanted this video to end omg ❤
Yes. I love that it all makes sense. I am doing research into it myself inspired by this and its surprising what is out there in academia.
🙏🙌
I know right 👍👍
The Our Father covers everything. The perfection of this prayer from Jesus is yet another proof of His divinity.
Amen to that!
The singing of the Our Father prayer was so beautiful it brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing, you are doing amazing work.
Just wanted to say I really like your channel and it makes it a lot easier for me to learn and retain what is being taught. Can’t stop watching
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
The section on forgiveness really hit hard. I really struggle to forgive and feel like I have to keep forgiving people. Old wounds will open or people I forgive give me new things to get angry about. Praise Jesus for His grace. I'm so grateful he can be patient and forgive even when I struggle
That melody is so powerful and haunting. Top marks for whoever came up with that to frame the Lord's Prayer. Unexpected and moving.
Love you love you love you love you love you this all I can say bless be the God for this meaningful teaching
I loved how the color used to represent God's goodness and holiness is the same color Jesus is colored literally showing that Jesus is God's goodness and holiness made human. 🙏
You guys make it so easy to understand the Bible. Thank you so much.
I have always struggled with my prayer life. It is easily the weakest part of my narrow walk in Christ. I live a pretty boring yet very satisfying life now retired after the military. Not much to pray for or about really without it beginning to feel painstakingly repetitive and seeing to become a chore or obligation. Nobody likes a phoney just because Paul says we should do it "unceasingly"! The Lord's prayer three times a day (as biblically expected) is just golden for me. Like Pizza, it hits all the right spots and leaves me feeling fully satisfied. Hope the Lord feels the same........🤔
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and forever. Amen.
Powerful. Weeping for mankind and we struggle and toil, most without knowing or caring about Him.
My grandmother taught me this prayer when I was little and never forgot it 🥲
That's so beautiful!
God bless Tim, Jon, Everett the director, Richie the musician, and every other artist and BP coworker for their work.
May God teach us to live this way, so that his kingdom may come through our lives.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
That beautiful song at the end should be given a separate video to allow us to pray too, woow!!its wonderful
Praise God
My Favorite Prayer ❤❤❤
Congratulations this is Magnifying all of us, God bless you guys, beautiful mighty work, one love 👁️♥️👁️
The Lord's prayer as a song at the end!!! 🙏🏽 ❤
Incredible❤
I don't have the words to describe how beautiful this series is
I shared this video with my daughters tonight when we had our prayer time before bed. Im always trying to teach them - in word and deed - about God and Jesus and how to live the life of a true follower of Christ. I love your videos because they bring the ideas i share with them and the scriptures we read into a focus that is difficult to explain. I believe it helps to strengthen their understanding and lets them know that God is not so far away. Thanks for all you do.
💛💜💛 AMEN AND AMEN 🙏 THANK YOU 💛
@6:04 and this is the prayer that Jesus prayed...in the garden. Truly, we can say that He was a man acquainted with our sorrows, our troubles and our tests. No words can express the awe this whole video inspired and the gratefulness for your ministry. The LORD bless you all! P.S. the background vocalization at this prayer point was amazing!
I personally really enjoy to know more about this project.
The more I follow this project the more I can understand the truth of Christ .
Thank to this project I am finally able to answer my friends' and my own biblical questions and doubts
Bible Project, I served as a minister for 40 years and this beautiful piece of masterful instruction (calling it a video seems to cheapen it) has me in tears. Honestly the most beautiful explanation of the Lord’s prayer and its purpose I have ever heard or seen. I have no more words.
Thank you for clarifying that forgiveness is not an ok pass to evil!
That Hebrew song was so ethereal and beautiful!
Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 welcomes you'll to full acceptance in the movement towards our father's kingdom
I love the song! Thank you for this treasure.
We are happy to be a resource for you!
Awesome! Congratulations! Thank you!
AH! I love this, I need this. I will come back to this video again and again and again and I will learn this song too!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear how the Sermon on the Mount series is impacting our audience.
Just say thank you Jesus be grateful thankful 🙏🏾
Great video, thanks be to God who showed me this on how to pray and how to forgive others so thati may be forgiven.
Thank you! We are happy to be a resource for you.
Oh my, the Lord’s Prayer at the end of the video ❤️❤️🔥
Thank you. From those with ears and eyes. Thank you.
Thy will b done on EARTH as it is done in HEAVEN !!! COME SOON LORD !!!
The fact that this prayer also gives us insight on how God wants us to talk to Him, we have access to the SAME prayer our saviour did, the SAME prayer from the God of the universe
Оче наш који си на небесима,
Да се свети име твоје,
Да дође царство твоје,
Да буде воља твоја на небу као и на Земљи.
Хлеб наш насушни дај нам данас,
и опрости дуговима нашим као што и ми опраштамо дужницима својим.
И не води нас у искушење,
но избави нас од зла.
У име Оца, Сина и Светога Духа, Амин!
Praise our father! I love you so much. Thank you, Jesus, for bringing us to him!
These videos make me cry like a baby. Thank you all for your work and dedication to the word of God.
We're so glad to hear how our resources have impacted you! Thanks for sharing this with us.
That's a really powerful prayer. Jesus is perfect, he just combined everything into a small prayer.
Thank you for dissecting the Lord's prayer into the key elements, helps us pay close attention on how we should be living daily.
I reckon this is one of your best videos. The way you connected the prayer to Jesus' final moments in the garden before his death and resurrection was so enlightening. Also, the claim that the Lord's prayer allows us to live through Jesus is a beautiful sentiment.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way. We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
That point at 4:15 made me start crying. Today I have a better comprehension of how God’s forbearance towards us directs us to reflect His light in forgiving others. I was raised a Christian, and I strive to live by these ideals, no matter how much I fail to match them every day. But I am grateful for your videos. They help me grasp these truths in ways that capture them so succinctly and get down into my heart. Thank you.
Yahweh has every right to destroy us for our sin and yet He is so patient, kind and merciful toward us. We should be the same when others sin against us, especially if we want to show our appreciation for His own mercy. That’s how we love God and neighbour. That’s how we conquer the evil with the good. Jesus truly gave us the best example to imitate his Father. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
I am always asking God to give me victory over temptations. However, I love framing of asking God to keep them away all together
You guys open a whole new world to me with these videos!
Thank you for sharing how you are enjoying the Sermon on the Mount series! It's encouraging to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
I was excited about the idea of writing our own versions of this prayer. I prayed for Ritchie writing the new song and was so very moved by its beauty, passion, intensity and the tension. It is beautiful and rich. I want, so very much, to be part of a group, a camarata, a chorus praying this version.
I started praying again the night of July 13th. I’m figuring out how to pray besides saying the daily Our Father and Hail Mary prayers. I’ve finally started talking to, thanking Him, and asking Him to provide for my wants. I’ve started conversing with Him when I have thoughts and feelings I want to share. Only He can hear me.
Thank you. Simply, thank you for all that you are doing for the Kingdom.
Always loved how you guys incorperate different art styles in your videos. Very well done.
6:48 the Lord's prayer in Aramaic
The LORD is good for he is the way amen
Thank you Lord. 🙏
"The Lord's prayer" a prayer that is so powerful to one's soul and others. Words that came From God himself.
Wowh... thanks millions! ❤
The weightyness reflects God's holiness. Perfect.
Listening to this whilst studying is kind of nice
PRAISE GOD...
God bless you, and thank you for this.
We are happy to be a resource for you!
I've never felt like i was good at praying, knowing what to say, or ask.
It can be intimidating, talking to the creator of the universe...
At some point i started making a point to try and pray this prayer daily.
It feels like its helped my growth a lot, and eventually i started to add my own words.
Like i guess one example, i lost a friend awhile back over my faith.
And i wanted to do as God wants and forgive them, but i still felt so angry any time i thought about the last conversation we had.
So i started using my own words in this prayer, saying "forgive us our transgressions, and teach us to forgive."
I still get angry from time to time when i think about that person.
But i can also see how much of that anger God has helped me grow out of, and i know its only a matter of time before He helps me to fully make peace.
God is so powerful, and so gracious, and loving.
Im still learning a lot and growing a lot.
I still mess up way more than i would like to admit.
It can be hard to take steps, or have the discipline to keep following Him when things get tough.
Especially for me when i constantly seem to feel like i have failed Him...
But i trust Him, i know he knows my heart.
Even if i don't know the words to say...
I maybe rambled a little there.
I guess i just wanted to get that off my chest.
Thats so so beautiful, and no you didn't ramble, what you said really ministered to me. I just know God is proud of you for standing firm in your faith and working on forgivness, were all learning and growing, it's not easy but it's worth it 💕
I love the way y’all teach the Bible!
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
@@bibleproject ❤️📖✝️
As always you guys are great! My pastor is always saying he loves comic books, movies with superhero’s,etc. & I was thinking that is different… but after watching one of your videos to help me understand a book of the Bible (imagine it), I thought of him & it makes perfect since. This caricature presentation along with your talk is painting a picture of it all & it helps tremendously. Andrew Wommack is always saying how we have to study the work and then get a picture on the inside of us as to what the word is saying & this is perfect to make that happen. Thank you guys for serving God & meeting our needs!!!! 🙏🏻
What a blessing you all are to us. I believe wholeheartedly that God is doing a new thing for believers who will turn their eyes and ears to Him; to truly seek Him and His righteousness. He is, after all, a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb 11:6). God bless you all, Bible Project!
We say it at every Mass ✝️🛐
I just need to say I love y'all so much, my heart is so eternally grateful, for your BP work. We pray all the best for you and your families.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way. We are so happy that we can be a resource for you!
The ending sequence broke me. Putting what you just said practically. Amazing. Please do this more
Most of all I’m thankful for bothe your wives’ prayers as we were taught how to sort ourselves up. I’ve picked up some wisdom about how important the blood of Christ is to cleansing sin away from the wound. Be blessed.
Unbelievably inspiring. To God Be the Glory!
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
You guys are a guiding light in my times of spiritual turmoil. Godbless you bible prject ❤
These videos are magic for every soul, THANK YOU for creating all these videos ! ❤
Please, never delete any of them
Thank you for this wonderful video. I really need this. Praise to God our Father through Lord Jesus! Hallelujah!!!
Our creator is so amazing and awesome, words can't describe who hashem is. Shalom and many blessings from Sheridan Wyoming
I dreamt about this prayer last night. Uploaded right on time in my case to want to learn more. This being the prayer that Jesus Himself prayed before going to the cross is something that had not connected with me before. Wonderful explanation and teaching.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
Incredible work. Thank you all so much for your dedication and time.
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
That song was UNREAL.
Please release it!
A very deep understanding of the prayer only the wise can truely appreciate the deep thoughts of this video from the choice of words such using sky instead of heaven
I love you guys
Plz pray for me. Even though I pray for myself I always ended up doing sin the same day. I know I am sinner but I don't want to be. Thank u lord.
Please ask Jesus to fill you/baptize you with the Holy Spirit. This is the only way any of us can have the power to change and be like Jesus when we get born again of the water (baptized in water) and of the spirit ❤ Love you but of course Jesus loves you more!
I decided to start watching your videos because I have felt that God has put it on my heart. Prayer has been showing up in a lot of sermons that I go to and I believe that God is trying to make me woman of prayer. This video helped so much.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way.
Praise God.
These videos are extremely Powerful content, transforming lives and bringing clarity to the character and nature of God !
Thank you Bible Project team! Thank you so much!!!!
We're very grateful for your kind words and love what we do even more because of your support!
Amen!
God bless this ministry
beautiful beginning to end--Praise God and than you Jesus
Absolutely amazing. This prayer has become more and more powerful as I’ve made it routine in my daily prayer. Thank you for what you do.
