Jesus did not initiate new religious practices, since as a Jew, most of Jesus’ religious practices were dictated by his Jewish tradition. However, at one point, Jesus’ disciples (pupils) asked for assistance in learning how to pray to God. Jesus offered a simple, model prayer, sometimes called "The Lord’s Prayer," which is often repeated in religious services today:

"Our Father in heaven, holy is your name. Your kingdom come, your 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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever."
