WordFocus: "tempted" *************************** (Gk. peirazo) (4:1; Luke 4:2; Mark 1:13; Heb. 4:15) Strong's #3985: The word means "to try" or "to make proof of," and when ascribed to God in His dealings with people, it means no more than this (see Gen. 22:1). But for the most part in Scripture, the word is used in a negative sense, and means to entice, solicit, or provoke to sin. Hence the name given to the wicked one in this passage is "the tempter" (4:3). Accordingly "to be tempted" here is to be understood both ways. The Spirit conducted Jesus into the wilderness to try His faith; but the agent in this trial was the wicked one, whose object was to seduce Jesus away from His allegiance to God. This was temptation in the bad sense of the term. Yet Jesus did not give in to temptation; He passed the test (see 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 7:26).

WordFocus: "walked" ********************** Genesis 5:24 "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him." "walked" "(Heb. halak) (5:24; 6:9; Deut. 13:4; Ps. 128:1; Mic. 6:8) Strong's #1980: The basic meaning of the Hebrew verb translated here as walk is "to go" or "to travel." The word is used often in the Old Testament to signify merely a simple act of motion (13:17; 2 Sam. 11:2). In 6:9 and other passages, the word has connotations of a habitual manner of life or a constant relationship with God. Thus the word describes Noah, Enoch, and other people of faith as living in a close relationship with their God and in obedience to His commands. Throughout Scripture, believers are called to walk with God daily, abiding in Him completely (Gal. 5:16; 1 John 2:6)." "..he was not: This phrase does not mean that Enoch ceased to exist; instead it means that he was taken into God's presence, for God took him. Only Enoch and Elijah (see 2 Kings 2:11) ever had this experience. Enoch's remarkable experience was both a testimony of his deep faith in God (see Heb. 11:5,6) and a strong reminder at the beginning of biblical history that there is life in God's presence after death for the people of God. What Enoch experienced in a remarkable, dramatic fashion is what each person who "walks with God" will experience- everlasting life with the Savior."
