Let us tempt Christ (ἐκπειράζωμεν τὸν Χριστόν)
The compound word is very significant, “to tempt out” (ἐκ); tempt thoroughly; try to the utmost. It occurs in three other places: Mat 4:7; Luk 4:12; Luk 10:25; and, in every case, is used of tempting or testing Christ. Compare Psa 77:18 (Sept.). For Christ read Κύριον the Lord.
