Pretty conclusive, eh?

No Ohio, you are cutting a snippet and not getting what is going on: Satan tells Jesus to throw himself down because it is written that the angels would uphold him, to throw himself down would be to tempt to see if God would fulfill his word. It is not Satan tempting God, it is Satan trying to put Jesus in a position to tempt God. Jesus is telling that he is following the scripture.
Have you ever considered that there is no account of Jesus stubbing his toe or getting sick? God’s angels did a good job!
