Jesus Christ suffered himself to be tempted both by men and Devils, among men he suffered himself to be tempted both by bad & good men, consider some Instances of his being tempted by bad men, Math, 22.15, 16, 17, 18. Then went the Pharisees & took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk, & they sent out their Disciples with the Herodians saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in Truth, neither carest thou for any man, for thou regardest not the persons of men, tell us therefore what thinkest thou, is it lawful to give Tribute to Cesar or no? but Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, why tempt ye me hypocrites. Luke expresseth this, or the like Temptation more fully, Luk. 20.20. and they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, and so they might deliver him unto the power and Authority of the Governor. See another Instance, Math. 22.35, 36. then one of them which was a Lawyer asked him a question, tempting him, saying, Master, which is the great Commandment in the Law? see another Instance, Luk. 10.25. and behold a certain Lawyer stood up and tempted him saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? see another Instance, Math. 16.1. the Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting, desired him that he would show them a sign from Heaven, unto these he maketh a sad Answer, Mark. 8.12. and he sighed deeply in his Spirit and saith, why doth this Generation seek after a sign, verily, I say unto you, there shall be no sign given to this Generation. See another Instance, Math. 19.3. the Pharisees also came unto him tempting him, is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause, See one Instance more, Luk. 11.53, 54. and as he said these things unto them, the Scribes and Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things, laying wait for him and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him, It was an hour of great Temptation that Jesus Christ was in! He also suffered himself to be tempted by good men, as it appeared in that famous Instance of Peter. Math. 16, 22, 23.
