This verse does not exist in Luke in the morphological GNT that  I use.  It appears in the source of the KJV, the Textus Receptus. See this article for more about differences. See Matthew 22:18 or Mark12:15 aritcles for more information on the vocabulary.

 

COMPARISON: GREEK to KJV

 From the Textus Receptus

με [49 verses](pron 1st sg masc acc) "Me" is eme, which is the objective first-person, objective, singular pronoun that means  "me."

πειράζετε, (2nd pl pres ind act) "Tempt" is from peirazo, which means to "make proof or trial of", "attempt" to do, "to attempt", "to try", "to test," and, in a bad sense, "to seek to seduce," and "to tempt."
