B. to turn stones into bread to satisfy his physical hunger.
C. to leap from the temple pinnacle to show his divine nature.
D. to invoke God’s presence

Correct Answer:

Option A – worship Satan to receive great power.

Explanation

The temptations of Christ are identical in the two accounts, but Matthew records them as:

1. Turn stones into bread to satisfy his physical hunger.
2. Leap from the temple pinnacle to show his divine nature.
3. Worship Satan to receive great power.

Luke changes the order of the temptations slightly to:

1. Turn stones into bread.
2. Worship Satan.
3. Leap from the temple pinnacle.
