Tempted of Satan
The Spirit leads Jesus into a place "to be" tempted, but is not the one doing "the tempting"
Mark 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness "to be" tempted "of the devil".
Thats what he does, he is called "the tempter". He tempts, he attempts to tempt Jesus
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Satan desired to tempt Job to curse God (Job 1:11, Job 2:5) And Satan desired to have Simon (Luke 22:31) that he might sift him as wheat
(Jesus having prayed that his faith fail not) even as it speaks of the trial of our faith through a manifold of temptations in 1 Peter 6:6-7
We are also told,
1Cr 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
In Job it shows the LORD setting limits, as in "thus far and no further" (Job 1:12, Job 2:6) God holds the leash of the dragon.
Jesus is called a "tried stone" (Isaiah 28:16) He was tempted/ tested/and or proved even by Satan craftily uses his enticements to get him to sin. Such is the trial of one's faith, virtue, and character.
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness forty days (Mark 1:13) which is one day for every year (Deut 8:2) they were led in the wilderness
Mat 5:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
John says,
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
James 1:13 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
James 1:14-15 But every man "is" tempted, when he is "drawn away" of his "own lust", "and enticed".Then when "lust hath conceived", it "bringeth forth" sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jesus was in all points tempted like as we are, yet he was "without sin".
It says also,
Hebrews 2:18 For "in that" he himself hath suffered "being tempted", he is able "to succour them" that "are" tempted.
1 Peter 2:22-23 Who "did no sin", neither was guile found "in his mouth" Who, "when he was reviled", reviled "not" again; when he suffered, "he threatened not"; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously
It says, he suffered "being" tempted, and when he suffered (in "being" tempted) it says, he "threatened not"...
This then speaks to sufferng the kind of temptation found in a verbal provocation of some sort, not answering in like response (reviling not again or threatening not).
Same word for revile G3679 found in Romans 15:3 is the word reproach
Romans 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
He suffered reproach even as those in Christ will 1 Ti 4:10, 1 Peter 4:14
Luke 6:1 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
As Satan tempts Christ these also (who belong to him) are shown "tempting Christ" also
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him
Mat 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Mat 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him
Luke 20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
John 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him.
Seeking to accuse him
Luke 11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Much like the accuser of the brethren
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
We are not ignorant of his devices
2 Cr 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Shows here that Satan comes along among the Sons of God
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Even as Satan came also among the Lord's disciples
Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
There he is again,
Luke 22:23 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Father of lies, Satan filling the heart of Ananias
Acts 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Shown as tempting the Spirit of the Lord
Acts 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?
Simon and the tempter
Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (1 Peter 1:6-7)
The brethren's faith and the tempter tempting them.
1 The 3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
The brethren being strengthened by Peter as the Lord told him to speaking to the trial of their faith through a manifold of temptations
1 Peter 1:6-7 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
These being "kept" by the "power of God (or Jesu Christ) through faith (who prayed for Simons faith, that it would fail not through these things)
Says, give no place to the devil even in marraiges
1 Cr 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
So that Satan tempt you not for your "want of self-control, incontinence, or intemperance"
