Satan did the tempting by offering Christ that which He already had all dominion over. The Bible does not tell us that Christ yielded to that temptation. It would be yielding that would be sin not the fact that Satan tried to get Christ to yield.

I don’t recall Christ indicating in anyway He was even considering Satan’s offer, do you?

Why did Jesus experience suffering when he was tempted???

Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

And how could Jesus 'succour' anyone had he not experienced temptation and defeated it???
