Jesus is explicit with satan about who is God.

I believe that Jesus is God, however that passage you cite from
Matthew 4:1-11 and
Luke 4:1-13, isn't going to get us there.
Satan had tempted Jesus to throw Himself down, for it is written, "He shall give His angels charge over thee..." (
Psalm 91:11-12). Satan was trying to get Jesus to tempt God with the rash act of throwing Himself off the pinnacle of the temple. Jesus quoted a portion of
Deuteronomy 6:16, to dissuade the adversary and thus Jesus Himself overcame the sin of "tempting God."
