What does the Bible say about Abraham's temptation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes Abraham's temptation in Genesis 12, where he deceives Pharaoh about his wife Sarah.

In Genesis 12:10-20, we see Abraham's first recorded temptation, which occurs when he faces a famine in the land of Canaan. In fear for his life, he instructs his wife Sarah to claim that she is his sister. This reflects Abraham's vulnerability and human frailty despite being called a friend of God. The narrative demonstrates that even great figures like Abraham can falter in faith, pointing to the truth that all believers, even those blessed by God, are susceptible to trials and temptations.
Scripture References: Genesis 12:10-20
