Here is a link to the Greek.

Read for yourself.

My brother teaches Classical Greek at Wheaton College where Billy Graham graduated. I’ll ask him.

Your link is interesting. It gives the translation from three bibles.

1. New American Standard Bible
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’

2. King James Bible
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

3. Holman Christian Standard Bible
And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

No 3 is slightly different, and seems closer to how I understand it.

The other link you gave talks about God being like our mother when we’re, at age 5, at the grocery store. She knows NOT to take us down the aisle where the candy is, since we’ll be tempted, and we’ll react.

Sorry, I just don’t think we should pray that God, does NOT take us down the aisle where the candy is.

For me, it’s more like God being there, when we fight temptation and evil to help us thru this.

I think the Lord’s prayer says that, “Lead us not into temptation” ,but for me it would be MORE CLEAR and COMFORTING if it reads “Lead us from temptation”
