'Testing' in the Bible

But perceiving their malice, Jesus said, “Why are you testing Me, hypocrites?

Should we pay, or should we not pay?”But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.”

And the seed on the rock are those who, when they hear, welcome the word with joy. Having no root, these believe for a while and depart in a time of testing.

Now then, why are you testing God by putting a yoke on the disciples’ necks that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear?

During a severe testing by affliction, their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed into the wealth of their generosity.

I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love.

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,on the day of testing in the wilderness,

knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

Because you have kept My command to endure, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is going to come over the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
