The Greek (καί (kai) μή (mē) εἰσφέρω (eispherō) ἐγώ (egō) εἰς (eis) πειρασμός (peirasmos).) from my understanding, is better said to be: "And God forbid that we be lead into temptation." The key is "μή mḗ" which is a qualified negation.

After saying it the same way for 60+ years, I think I know the meaning.

Lead us NOT INTO TEMPTATION of believing WE are the makers/understanders of all things, and that God doesn’t exist, or that we could create an infinitesimal bit of what God created.
God does NOT abandon ....

The pontiff observed that the phrase, “lead us not into temptation,” is problematic, and is calling to replace those words with “abandon us not when in temptation.”
Are there many variants of this in the Greek Manuscripts?
I guess Mathew a tax collector for the Roman’s didn’t know Greek.

I think the passage should read, simply:
“Lead us from temptation.”
