'Tried' in the Bible

When it was day, He went out and made His way to a deserted place. But the crowds were searching for Him. They came to Him and tried to keep Him from leaving them.

Just then some men came, carrying on a mat a man who was paralyzed. They tried to bring him in and set him down before Him.

John responded, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us.”
