Newbie Question Question about ‘tentationem’ in the Pater Noster/Our Father
I am new to Latin, and am very confused by the form of the word ‘tentacionem’.
In the line “ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem”/“lead us not into tempation”, I’m not sure why ‘tentationem’ is the accusative form.
Shouldn’t it be in Dative form as:
You is the subject
Us is the direct object
Temptation as the indirect object?
