A:
The three temptations in the wilderness are not in Mark's Gospel, but came into the Gospels of Matthew and Luke from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Although using the same source document, the two authors recorded two of the temptations in different sequences. Matthew's Gospel says that the devil first tried to tempt Jesus to turn a stone into bread, then took Jesus up to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem, and then to a high mountain in order to tempt him.
