Jesus said it. He was a Jew.

Just because Jesus said it, doesn't mean it was a prayer that Jews traditionally said at the time. In fact, didn't the Pharisees take issue with calling God our Father?

For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5:18)
