Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples."

And rising up from prayer, coming to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

For Solomon [had] made a bronze scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits. And he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands toward heaven,

Come, let us worship and fall down before Him, and weep before the Lord that made us.

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,

And rising up from prayer, coming to the disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.

And having said these things, he knelt down, together with them all, and prayed.

But when it came about that we had completed the days [there], having gone out we departed, all [of them] accompanying us, together with [their] wives and children, until [we were] outside the city. And having bowed [our] knees on the shore, we prayed.

And Solomon stood up in front of the altar before all the congregation of Israel; and he spread out his hands toward heaven,

And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.
