'Assayed' in the Bible

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

and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus 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.
