What current science says
This is only possible on a flat Earth. On our spherical planet, you can only see about 3 miles to the horizon at ground level, or perhaps 100-200 miles from a very high mountain. You cannot see around Earth's curve to other continents no matter how high you climb.
What the text says
Matthew 4:8 describes the devil taking Jesus to 'an exceeding high mountain' and showing him 'all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them' - implying every nation on Earth could be seen at once from a single peak.
Three honest ways to read this passage
-
As history
The text records how its authors understood the world with the knowledge they had. Read this way, a difference from modern science is a window into the ancient mind, not a failure.
-
As accommodation
The text speaks to its first audience in their own terms, to make a point that isn't mainly about physics or biology. Read this way, the scientific detail is the vehicle, not the cargo.
-
As contradiction
The text makes a claim about the physical world that modern findings dispute. Read this way, the difference is a genuine factual disagreement worth naming.
