German Bishop, "Lead Us Not into Temptation“ Is Faithful to the Gospel
Even liberal Bishop Peter Kohlgraf of Mainz, Germany, believes that a translation of the Our Father needs to be faithful to the Greek original.
Writing on a social media (December 10), Kohlgraf states that Jesus himself was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert to be tempted and that a similar situation repeats itself in the garden of Gethsemane. He points out that God causes “existential test situation”, “God is apparently not only ‘nice’, a lot of his plan rests hidden to us men.”
