Vasily Ivanovich Surikov – Temptation of Christ

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted with evil and He himself tempts no one. James 1:13

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are — yet was without sin. Hebrews 4:15

By the way, the Bible never says that Jesus’ “human nature” was tempted, it says “Jesus” was tempted. Nowhere does it say that “part” of Jesus was tempted; it was “all” of him. If Jesus is God, this is a clear contradiction. However, Jesus was a human being, so there is no contradiction.
