Senses in use

  1. Bread requested for the present day · dominant

    In Luke 11:3 and Matthew 6:11, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in a request that bread be given; the APB renders the clauses "Give us each day our daily bread" and "Give us today our daily bread."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents both clauses with "daily bread," alongside "each day" in Luke 11:3 and "today" in Matthew 6:11. Those phrases indicate the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating a single English equivalent.
