'Test' in the Bible

This is the judgment [that is, the cause for indictment, the test by which people are judged, the basis for the sentence]: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

He asked this to test him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.

They said this to test him, so that they might have a charge against him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.
