Luke 4:12 (KJV) "And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou
shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
The previous sentence is Jesus' citation of Deut 6:16 (KJV) "Ye
shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in Massah."
Though Luke 4:12 might be a little ambiguous about who is being
tempted (Imho, if Jesus had thrown Himself off the tower, He would have
been tempting / testing the Father), but Deut 6:16 makes it clear that
the Father can be tempted.
Luke 4:13 reinforces the idea that satan did the tempting; it was
not something that was part of Jesus.
Temptation is not sin; giving in to temptation is sin.
