         DefinitionShort: to endeavor or attempt to cause someone to sin

         Glosses: ['to tempt', 'to trap', 'to lead into temptation', 'temptation']

         Comments: In translating expressions involving tempting or trying, it is necessary in a number of languages to indicate clearly whether or not the temptations succeeded. Therefore, it may not be sufficient in {S:04100101300016} to simply say ‘Satan tempted him’; in fact, in some instances it may be necessary to make the failure of the temptation quite specific, for example, ‘Satan tried to make Jesus sin, but was not successful.’

         DefinitionShort: to attempt to do something, with the implication of not succeeding

         Glosses: ['to try', 'to attempt']

         Comments: In a number of languages expressions such as πειράζω[d], πειράομαι, and πεῖραν λαμβάνω may be expressed as to start to do something, but not be able to or to think that one can do something, but discover it is impossible.
