TEMPTATION, Tentatio, mTheology, an induction 

 or folicitation to evil, whether arifing from the world, the 

 fie(h, or the devil. 



Our Saviour's temptation, previous to the commencement 

 of his public miniftry, has been a fubjeft of difcuflion and 

 controverfy among learned divines. 



The evangelical account of this tranfaftion may be found 

 in Matt. iv. 1 — II. Mark, i. 12, 13. Luke, iy. 1—12. It 

 has generally been fuppofed, that the evangelical hiftory of 

 our Lord's teAptation is to be underftood as a narrative of 

 outward tranfaftions : that the devil tempted Chrift in per- 

 fon, appeared to him in a vifible form, fpoke to him with an 

 audible voice, and removed him corporc.illy from one place 

 to another ; and it muft be allowed that thefe fuppofitions 

 are warranted by the literal interpretation of the hiftory. 

 Neverthelefs, this interpretation is liable to a variety of ob- 

 jeftions. It is unfuitable to the fagacity and pohcy of the 

 evil fpirit. Why, it has been fuggefted, (hould the devil 

 aifault our bleftcd Lord at all, and what advantage could he ex- 

 peft to gain over him ; more efpccially when he came to him in 

 perfon, and appeared before him in a vifiblc form, and under 

 his own proper charafter, propofing and urging temptations 

 which could proceed only from an evil being ? In order to 

 evade this difiiciilty, fome writers, as archbiihop Seeker and 

 Dr. Cliandler, have coniediircd that the devil appeared net 

 as himjclj, but under tjic ailiimcd refcmblance of a good 

 angel ; and others have fuppofed that he appeared to Cluift 

 in Ihe form of a man. But the hiftory furniflies no ground 

 for thefe conjcdures, and they are equally inconfiftent with 

 the temptations themfelves, confidered in their own nature ; 

 nor can it be pretended that Chrift was ignorant by whom 

 the feveral temptations, and particularly the third of them, 

 waspropofcd; for in his reply, he calls him Satan. Befides, 

 this tranfaftion, acrording to the literal interpretation of it* 

 hiftory, was very ill calculated to promote either the honour
