18: γνους δε ο ιησους την πονηριαν αυτων ειπεν τι με πειραζετε υποκριται— edit Textus Receptus
18: But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?- edit KJV text
18: But Jesus knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?— edit Douay text

Jesus perceived their wickedness. This must have been done by his power of searching the heart, and proves that he was omniscient. No mere man has the power of discerning the motives of others.

Tempt ye me. Try me, or endeavour to lead me into difficulty by an insidious question.

Hypocrites. Dissemblers. Professing to be candid inquirers, when their only object is to lead into difficulty. See Barnes "Mt 6:2".
