Exegesis
The preposition eis {εἰς | eis} plus the accusative object portrays “entering into” temptation as moving into a perilous sphere, not merely encountering it.
In context — Mark 14:38
Be watchful and pray so that you might not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing , but the flesh is weak .
