The Temptations of Jesus


Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert, but overcame all the temptations. The order of the temptations

  1. Stones into bread
  2. Throw yourself down from the pinnacle of the Temple
  3. All these I will give you if you fall down and worship me

is found in the
  1. The Gospel of Luke
  2. The Gospel of Mark
  3. The Gospel of Matthew
  4. The Gospel of John
The order in Luke is as under:


  1. Stones into bread
  2. All these I will give you if you fall down and worship me
  3. Throw yourself down from the pinnacle of the Temple
The reason for this is because for Luke, the Temple is the climax/important locale. His Gospel begins in the Temple and ends in the Temple.
