Matthew 4:1-7
1-Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness TO BE TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
2- After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
3- The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4- But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
6- “If You are the Son of God, he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written:‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7- Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘DO NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”

This quotation(Matthew 4:7) comes from Deuteronomy 6:16 a verse that comes two chapters before that quoted in 4:4. As with the earlier quotation it uses the exact translation found in the Septuagint. In this section of Deuteronomy Moses is instructing the Israelites on proper behaviour. In full Deut 6:16 reads "Do not test the Lord your God as you did at Massah." JESUS JUST QUOTED THE OLD TESTAMENT and commandment ! not originally his own word ! he didn’t said about him being God but he just used the quotation just to answered the devil
Deuteronomy 6:16
"You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested Him at Massah.
This is a reference to the events of Exodus 17:5 where the Israelites wandering in the desert doubted God was with them. This passage is thus seen as the clearest evidence for the theory that the temptation narrative shows how Jesus avoided making the same errors as the Israelites.
Exodus 17:4-5
4-So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me."
5-Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.

God cannot tempted by evil/devil
James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, “- God”is tempting me. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
If jesus really our god so he shouldn’t be tempted by devil
