Luke 11:4 KAI MH EISENEGKHiS hHMAS EIS PEIRASMON
I grew up saying "and lead us not into temptation", but doesn't this
translate more literally into "do not bring us into temptation"? Regardless,
what exactly does it mean? Is it a prayer that God will not bring us into
temptation, as though God is the one who brings us into temptation, and we
are asking him not to? Somehow, I'm not convinced that I'm reading this
correctly...
