Pope Francis has officially approved a change to the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:13 that replaces "lead us not into temptation" with "do not let us fall into temptation," the CBN website reports today (June 4, 2019).
The Vatican enacted the change on May 22.
The pope believes the new version is better because the first translation implies that God leads people into temptation, an action that is against His nature as a good and holy God.
"A father doesn't do that, a father helps you to get up immediately," Francis said on the line in question. "It's Satan who leads us into temptation, that's his department."
