“And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:”
The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. If you are the Son of God, he said, throw yourself down from here — the third temptation in Luke is the temple jump. The highest point of the temple (to pterygion, the pinnacle, possibly the southeast corner overlooking the Kidron Valley) is the setting. If you are the Son of God again targets the baptismal identity. The temptation is to demonstrate divine sonship by staging a spectacular miracle that forces God to intervene.
