Yes, Jesus was tempted in Matthew 4:
Hebrews 4:
Moreover, Jesus was tempted in a way that no human could be tempted, Matthew 4:
The devil tempted the Son of God to perform a miracle. But then, James 1:
Is there a contradiction?
No. The devil can tempt the Son of God, Jesus in the flesh, while he walked on earth but the devil cannot tempt God the Father.
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Hebrews 4:
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
Moreover, Jesus was tempted in a way that no human could be tempted, Matthew 4:
3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”
The devil tempted the Son of God to perform a miracle. But then, James 1:
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Is there a contradiction?
No. The devil can tempt the Son of God, Jesus in the flesh, while he walked on earth but the devil cannot tempt God the Father.
