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.

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

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.

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!

"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 👑

THAT SONG!!!! I've never heard the Lord's Prayer like that. Please put it on Spotify! Incredible.

That ending sequence was like something out of a late 90's DreamWorks production. Bravo team! 👏

This is NOT a Youtube channel quality, this is way beyond that, every fraction of your videos looks perfect and mesmerizing, your work should be shown on big screens!!

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

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 ❤

Loved the song with Aramaic writing and English text. Powerful and haughtingly beautiful.

Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. 🙏🏼

The Our Father covers everything. The perfection of this prayer from Jesus is yet another proof of His divinity.

"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him. - Nahum 1:7"

6:48 the Lord's prayer in Aramaic

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

[evantheking.]

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. 🙏

That melody is so powerful and haunting. Top marks for whoever came up with that to frame the Lord's Prayer. Unexpected and moving.

[InCaseYouDidntKnowIHaveYouTube]

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!

[vinnybaggins]

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.
