How did Satan tempt Jesus?

In: Christianity [Edit categories]

Answer:

In the book of Matthew chapter 4 it says that Jesus had gone to the wilderness and the devil had taken Jesus up the holy city (Jerusalem) and had setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple. Pinnacle means highest part of a monomental building or temple. So, that's where Satan told Jesus to jump from. Hope this helps.
