One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

Rising from his prayer, he went back to the disciples and found them asleep, worn out by their grief.

(Solomon had made a bronze platform and put it in the middle of the courtyard. It was eight feet square and five feet high. He mounted this platform, knelt down where everyone could see him, and raised his hands toward heaven.)

Come, let us bow down and worship him; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!

Then he went off from them about the distance of a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed.

Rising from his prayer, he went back to the disciples and found them asleep, worn out by their grief.

When Paul finished, he knelt down with them and prayed.

But when our time with them was over, we left and went on our way. All of them, together with their wives and children, went with us out of the city to the beach, where we all knelt and prayed.

Then in the presence of the people Solomon went and stood in front of the altar, where he raised his arms

Then in the presence of the people Solomon went and stood in front of the altar and raised his arms in prayer.
