CommentAugustine of HippoPublic domainMatthew 4:8–11

Luke has not given the temptations in the same order as Matthew; so that we do not know whether the pinnacle of the temple, or the ascent of the mountain, was first in the action; but it is of no importance, so long as it is only clear that all of them were truly done.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).

Also cites: de Cons. Evan., ii, 16
