'Assayed' in the Bible

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: and we would have judged him according to our law.

For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.

No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].
