μετὰ χαρᾶς : common to the three reports, a familiar and important feature of this type emotional religion. πρὸς καιρὸν πιστεύουσι, believe for a season, instead of Mt.'s and Mk.'s, he (they) is (are) temporary. ἐν καιρῷ πειρασμοῦ : a more comprehensive expression than that common to Mt. and Mk., which points only to outward trial, tribulation, or persecution. The season of temptation may include inward trial by deadness of feeling, doubt, etc. (Schanz).
