Greek Commentary for Luke 4:5
The inhabited world. In Matthew 4:8 it is του κοσμου tou kosmou a moment of time Only in Luke and the word στιγμη stigmē nowhere else in the N.T. (from στιζω stizō to prick, or puncture), a point or dot. In Demosthenes, Aristotle, Plutarch. Like our “second” of time or tick of the clock. This panorama of all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them in a moment of time was mental, a great feat of the imagination (a mental satanic “movie” performance), but this fact in no way discredits the idea of the actual visible appearance of Satan also. This second temptation in Luke is the third in Matthew‘s order. Luke‘s order is geographical (wilderness, mountain, Jerusalem). Matthew‘s is climacteric (hunger, nervous dread, ambition). There is a climax in Luke‘s order also (sense, man, God). There is no way to tell the actual order. [source]
See on Luke 2:1. [source]
Peculiar to Luke. Στιγμή is literally a mark made by a pointed instrument, a dot: hence a point of time. Only here in New Testament. Compare στίγματα ,brand-marks, Galatians 6:17. Tynd., in the twinkling of an eye. [source]

This wonderful panorama had to be partially mental and imaginative, since the devil caused to pass in review “all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them.” But this fact does not prove that all phases of the temptations were subjective without any objective presence of the devil. Both could be true. Here again we have the vivid historical present The devil now has Christ upon a very high mountain whether the traditional Quarantania or not. It was from Nebo‘s summit that Moses caught the vision of the land of Canaan (Deuteronomy 34:1-3). Luke (Luke 4:5) says that the whole panorama was “in a moment of time” and clearly psychological and instantaneous. [source]
No article, “A judgment.” The next few days will test this world. The prince of this world This phrase here, descriptive of Satan as in possession of the evil world, occurs again in John 14:30; John 16:11. In the temptations Satan claims power over the world and offers to share it with Jesus (Matthew 4:8-10; Luke 4:5-8). Jesus did not deny Satan‘s power then, but here proclaims final victory over him. Shall be cast out Future passive of εκβαλλω ekballō Note εχω exō clean out. The Book of Revelation also proclaims final victory over Satan. [source]
