Matthew 4:5
Douay-Rheims
Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
Francis Patrick Kenrick
This may be understood of a turret, or spire on the temple. There were iron spikes fixed all over the roof. Some take it to mean the top of a very high portico, built by Herod, from which few could venture to look down on the precipice beneath.
