J. Reiling and J. L. Swellengrebel on Luke 11:3 (cf. Matthew 6:13 JST)

  

Lead us not into temptation, or, ‘do not subject us to temptation’ (Jerusalem), “do not bring us to hard testing” (TEV), or, shifting to passive or active verbal forms, ‘do not allow us to be tested’ (cp. South Toradja), ‘let us not fall into things that test us’ (Shona 1966), ‘do not permit that the evil One tempts/tests us, or, seduces us’ (cp. East Toradja 1933); cp. also on 8:13. (J. Reiling and J. L. Swellengrebel, A Handbook on the Gospel of Luke [UBS Handbook Series; New York: United Bible Societies, 1993], 430)
