Was the temptation real or imaginary? If the other temptations were efforts to lure Jesus into carrying out physical actions such as turning literal stones into bread or performing a real act of worship before Satan, would not this temptation have been similar ​ — requiring Jesus physically to jump from the temple?
بما ان الشيطان حاول ان يخدع يسوع كي يحوِّل الحجارة الحرفية الى خبز ويؤدِّي عمل عبادة فعليًّا له ،‏ أفليس ممكنا ان يطلب منه هذه المرة ايضا ان يلقي بنفسه حرفيًّا من شرفات الهيكل ؟‏
