This may be to express the climax he desired to emphasize. Matthew 4:5 begins with the word \u201cthen\u201d while verse 8 begins with the word \u201cagain.\u201d In Greek, these words suggest a more sequential order of the events. In Luke\u2019s account, however, verses 5 and 9 each begins with a simple \u201cand\u201d (see nasb). The Greek in the case of Luke\u2019s account does not necessarily indicate a sequential order of events.
