John Trapp Complete Commentary

Luke 11:3

Give us day by day our daily bread.

Ver. 3. Our daily bread] Our super-substantial bread, τον επιουσιον : so Erasmus rendereth it, and interpreteth it of Christ; for he thought that in so heavenly a prayer there should have been no mention of earthly things; wherein he was greatly deceived. For temporals also must be prayed for.

Day by day] That we may from day to day depend upon thy providence for provisions, and, as a grave man of God once said, whereas many others have and eat their bread stale, let us receive it and eat it daily new from thine hand.
