Why did Jesus get tempted?

Satan wanted to make Jesus sin, but Jesus didn't sin.

Satan knew that if he could make Jesus do something wrong and sin, then Jesus couldn't be our Savior. In order to pay the price for our sins and take our place by dying for our sins, Jesus Himself could never sin. Satan tempted Jesus, or tried to make Him do things He was not supposed to do. Even though Satan offered Jesus many wonderful things, Jesus chose to not sin and resisted Satan's temptation.
