Bible Question:  When Jesus was tempted by the devil and HE was placed on a turret, how did that happen:
First how can HE be taken by the devil and secondly was he physically transported from the wilderness to Holy City v5 and on top of the high mountain v8. My feelings are that this happened in his thoughts?? But then HE was in control of his thoughts.

Bible Answer:  Due to the temptations that Jesus suffered, I find it hard to believe that it was only in His mind. I believe that being hungry is more physical than mental.

According to Hebrews 4:15, Jesus was tempted in all things as we are tempted in all things. Our temptation is physical as well as in thought, therefore the temptations of Jesus would have had to be physical as well.

As far as the transportation of Jesus to these high places, one would only be making assumptions because scripture do not say 'how' he was transported, only that the devil took him. However; Jesus was there expressly for the purpose to be tempted v.1, so I guess it would be fair to say that He ALLOWED the adversary to lead Him.
