Matius 4:5

4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, ¹  had him stand ²  on the highest point ³  of the temple,

[4:5]  ¹ sn The order of the second and third temptations differs in Luke’s account (4:5-12) from the order given in Matthew.

[4:5]  ² tn Grk “and he stood him.”

[4:5]  ³ 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.
