Luke 4:5
4:5 Then 1 the devil 2 led him up 3 to a high place 4 and showed him in a flash all the kingdoms of the world.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
2 tn Grk “he.”
3 tc Most mss (א1 A [D W] Θ Ψ 0102 Ë1,[13] 33 700 2542 Ï it) refer to Jesus being taken up “to a high mountain” (with many of these also explicitly adding “the devil”) here in parallel with Matt 4:8, but both scribal harmonization to that text and the pedigree of the witnesses for the shorter reading (א* B L 1241 pc) is the reason it should be omitted from Luke.
4 tn “A high place” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied for clarity.
