Jesus is The Lord Thy God
Luke 4-2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
Luke 4-12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Luke 4-13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Nowhere in all these verses does it mention that the Father or anyone else was being tempted.
In fact verses 1 and 2 identifies Who was being tempted. Jesus was being tempted to jump.
It is evident from the above that Jesus THE LORD THY GOD was being tempted
Deuteronomy 6:16 KJV
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Moses smote the rock, but it was Christ who stood by him and caused the water to flow from the flinty rock. The people tempted the Lord in their thirst, and said, If God has brought us out here, why does He not give us water, as well as bread. That if showed criminal unbelief and made Moses afraid that God would punish them for their wicked murmurings. The Lord tested the faith of His people, but they did not endure the trial. They murmured for food and for water, and complained of Moses. Because of their unbelief, God suffered their enemies to make war with them, that He might manifest to His people from whence cometh their strength.

Christ is “The Lord thy God”
Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:
Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
“From the pillar of cloud Christ declared concerning the Sabbath: “Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.” Exodus 31:13. The Sabbath given to the world as the sign of God as the Creator is also the sign of Him as the Sanctifier.” Testimonies for the Church 6:349, 350.
Christ (The Lord thy God) created the heavens and the Earth and rested on the seventh day which He blessed, hallowed and sanctified: therefore making Himself the Lord of the sabbath – THE LORD THY GOD
If Christ made all things, He existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. {1SM 247}
