This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Tempting him (peirazontes). As soon as Jesus appears in Galilee the Pharisees attack him again (cf. Mar 7:5; Mar 8:11). Gould thinks that this is a test, not a temptation.

They may have some such hopes about Jesus, or their purpose may have been to see if Jesus will be stricter than Moses taught. They knew that he had already spoken in Galilee on the subject (Mat 5:31.).
