Simply as they are the four writers of the books of the New Testament that tell us of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. As a result they deserve special respect.
The other reason is, of course, that they enable the poem "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John... bless the bed that I lay on" to rhyme!
Here are the places I've found the Lord's Prayer... Matthew 6:10-14 Luke 11:2-4
Jesus is mentioned the most in the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Of the gospel books -- the name of Jesus is mentioned in the book of John more than another other book.
The apostles are Matthew, John, James, Peter, Paul, Andrew.
This prayer in John is truly the "Lords Prayer". The prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 & Luke 11:2-4 was merely a pattern for prayer. Here in John 17:1-5 the Lord prays for Himself. 17:6-18 is the Lord's prayer for His disciples. And then 17:20-26 is the Lord's prayer for all believers, and this prayer includes believers in this present day. Take the time to read this prayer very carefully as there is much to learn from it.
The main difference between Matthew's and Luke's versions of the Lord's Prayer is the wording. Matthew's version is longer and more formal, while Luke's version is shorter and more concise. Additionally, Matthew places the Lord's Prayer within the Sermon on the Mount, while Luke includes it in a different context.
The 'Model Pray' found in Matthew 6 is commonly referred to as the Lord's Prayer in error. The true prayer of Jesus or the Lord's Prayer is found in John 17. This was shortly before His suffering and death in April 31 AD.

Jesus' prayer can be read in the Gospel of John, chapter 17. Most confuse the 'Lord's Prayer' found here with what is properly called the 'model' prayer found in Matthew 5 given by Jesus as a way for us to pray to our 'Father.'
Scholars say that in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Markand Luke), the mission of Jesus seems to have taken no more than one year, but that in John's Gospel his mission explicitly took three years. Thus, Matthew was a disciple for about one year (synoptics) or perhaps three years (John), although the name Matthew is not mentioned in John.
Judas, the name, appears in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. It is not found by name in Revelation.
Five people in the Bible are named John.* John the Baptist (Matthew 3:1)* John the apostle (Matthew 4:21)* John in the family of a high priest (Acts 4:6)* The father of apostle Peter (John 21:15)* Hebrew name of the evangelist, Mark (Acts 12:12)AdditionallyThe name John is a Greek name that comes from a Hebrew name so "John" in that form is not found in the Old Testament but it may be possible it is mentioned in the original Hebrew equivalent.
The REAL "LORD's Prayer" in the Bible is found in John 17.The passage most people call the "Lord's Prayer" in Matthew 6:9-13 is really just a "prayer outline;" the basic elements that should go into a general prayer.But, in John's 17th chapter, Jesus lifts His eyes up to heaven and has a real heart-to-heart talk with His Father. In it, He prays and intercedes on behalf of His disciples... as well as:"...for all who will ever believe in Me because of their testimony. My prayer FOR ALL OF THEM is that THEY WILL BE ONE, JUST AS YOU AND I ARE ONE, Father - that just as YOU ARE IN ME and I AM IN YOU, so THEY WILL BE IN US, and the world will believe you sent Me... I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME, ALL BEING PERFECTED INTO ONE..." (John 17:20-23 NLT New Living Translation)Now, that's intercession!
