“This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.

"

pleading to us, from the past.
in the form of a prayer.

to deliver us from an evil blood offering about to be made?

so we forgive our debtors in order to prevent a blood-bath?
