To bring in, carry into a place; also to lead into a situation, especially temptation or trial.
A compound verb (eis + phero) meaning to carry or bring something into a space or situation. Its physical sense appears when friends try to bring a paralyzed man into the house where Jesus is teaching (Luke 5:18-19), and when Paul observes that we bring nothing into the world and can take nothing out (1 Tim 6:7). The more theologically charged usage occurs in the Lord's Prayer: 'do not lead us into temptation' (Matt 6:13; Luke 11:4), where the verb shifts from spatial movement to situational exposure. In Luke 12:11 it describes being brought before synagogue authorities — a social rather than purely physical 'bringing in.'
Senses
1. bring in, carry into (physical movement) — To bring in or carry into a place physically — moving a person or thing across a threshold into an interior space. Friends attempt to bring a paralyzed man into the house (Luke 5:18-19). Paul reflects that nothing is brought into the world at birth nor taken out at death (1 Tim 6:7). In Acts 17:20 the Athenians say Paul is 'bringing strange things to our ears,' and Hebrews 13:11 speaks of blood brought into the sanctuary. Spanish 'meter/meterlo' and German 'hineinbringen' both emphasize the directional, physical act of entry. 5×

2. lead into, bring into (temptation or trial) — To lead into or bring into a situation, especially temptation or trial — a figurative extension of the spatial meaning. The Lord's Prayer petitions God not to 'lead us into' (eisenegkes) temptation (Matt 6:13; Luke 11:4), a usage that has generated centuries of theological reflection on divine testing. In Luke 12:11, believers are warned about being 'brought before' synagogues and authorities. Spanish 'nos metas' (don't put us into) captures the figurative sense of being ushered into a perilous situation rather than a physical room. 3×
