Context
4:3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.” 1 

Matthew 4:5

Context
4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, 2  had him stand 3  on the highest point 4  of the temple,

1 tn Grk “say that these stones should become bread.”

2 sn The order of the second and third temptations differs in Luke’s account (4:5-12) from the order given in Matthew.

3 tn Grk “and he stood him.”

4 sn The highest point of the temple probably refers to the point on the temple’s southeast corner where it looms directly over a cliff some 450 ft (135 m) high. However, some have suggested the reference could be to the temple’s high gate.
