Mt 4:8a ... Again takes him the Devil into a very high mountain, ...

The 3rd Temptation, vs 8-10: Verse 8 has 3 phrases and 21 narrator words. The first phrase has these 9 words ... Palin paralambanei auton ho diabolos eis oros hupsēlon lian (Again takes him the Devil into a-Mountain high very, ...).

The 9 narrator words are bottom up. The three words "auton ho diabolos" (him the Devil) are exactly tangent to the Devil. The last four words "eis oros hupsēlon lian" (into a mountain high very) are tangent to "the green slopes of the mountain" and its "very high" white snow covered peak above the clouds holding Jesus.
