Jesus Is Tempted The word tempt has a twofold meaning: 1. "Incite or entice to evil; seduce." There is something in each of us which causes us to yield to evil. This was not true of Jesus. "...the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me" (John 14:30). He was "...holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners..." (Heb. 7:26). So the temptation for Jesus had to be different from that which would cause man to fall, in that it needed to be a much greater temptation. 2. "Test." God does not tempt men with evil according to James 1:13. Yet, we are told "...God did tempt Abraham..." (Gen. 22:1). This means that God was testing the faith of Abraham.

Jesus Is Tempted John 14:30 (KJV) 30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. Hebrews 7:26-27 (KJV) 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Jesus Is Tempted James 1:13 (KJV) 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: Genesis 22:1 (KJV) 1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

Matthew 4:5-7 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
