not tempted, for he cannot be tempted by any, but they acted in a manner

proceedings to humor their whims, hence they are said to tempt him. By asking meat for their lust. Was there nothing for it but that he must give
them whatever their diseased appetites might crave? What they at first silently
wished for, they soon loudly demanded with menaces, insinuations, and
upbraidings.
