5: Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

Answer 2

Scripture states that Jesus was tempted by the devil when he was alone in a high mountain overlooking Jerusalem. This was a short time before he was to be crucified and he went here to received spiritual strength and consolation from his Father to do what he had to do. He had fasted or not eaten anything for 40 days and nights and was extremely weak, as any human body would be. Remember, he was God, but He came to earth in the form of a human. Satan likes to strike when you are already down and weak, so he took his best shot. But of course the Spirit of God prevailed.
