"Though is seems as if the Devil forces Jesus to the top of the mountain, if the viewer takes a moment to really study the expression and direction of Jesus' gaze they will note that he seems to be gazing upon his father, God, as if waiting on holy word whether to slay or save this particular sinner. However, while he waits for judgement from one whose wisdom exceeds everything in the universe, Jesus spends a quiet moment of reflection with the Devil, who though he be busy counting and recounting his particular avarices still moves Jesus with his dedication and determination. Perhaps here is a sinner worth saving after all."
