Our Lord’s Temptations
It has been alleged, that because Matthew and Luke, who both recorded in their gospels our Lord’s temptations from the devil, do not narrate them in the same order, must be inaccuracy. But suppose one of the Evangelists, Matthew, relates them in their chronological order, and Luke puts them in moral sequence, or according to the severity of the temptations, and therefore puts the severest, when Satan quotes Scripture, last, where then is the difficulty?
