Think about when Satan told Jesus that if he would bow down and worship him then he would give Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. Satan wasn't lying when he said they had been given to him. Gaining those kingdoms back from Satan was exactly what Jesus came to do and now Satan is offering them to Jesus without Jesus having to die a horrible death. I think it was more of a temptation than we see when we just casually read the scriptures.
In His obedience to His Father's law He was without sin (transgression), but the humanity Christ as God assumed at the incarnation had "indwelling sin" (iniquity) within it.
Keep in mind iniquity is a condition, not an act or thought. Because of the fall, mankind is spiritually bent so that driving force of his nature is based on the love of self.

Where does it stated Adam was tempted?
Here's temptation: 21For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man. Mark 7:21-22

Where Adam fell in transgression, the last Adam (Christ) lived a perfect life in obedience to His Father's law. But because Christ assumed our humanity polluted with iniquity (our bent) that life as the Son of man had to die eternally. Sunday morning Christ's Deity was raised with a glorified, sinless humanity!
That's why Paul says, "we have known Christ according to the flesh (sarx), yet now we know Him in this way no longer". (2 Cor 5:16)
Why? The Adamic life that Christ assumed died eternally on the cross. That's the curse of the law (i.e., the 2nd death). At the resurrection Christ's Deity (which never died) was united with a glorified, sinless humanity. It is this humanity we receive at the 2nd coming.

As I said, our sin nature wasn't His by divine right. He assumed us in our fallen condition in order to legally save us from under the law. The law of God had to be answered. Your corporate humanity had to meet two conditions:
1] Your corporate life had to be made obedient to God's law
2] But because your corporate life was polluted by the fall it had to die.
Both of these demands were answered in the doing & dying of Christ as the Son of God and the Son of Man.

I did not say that Mary was preserved from sin. John chapter one, "The word became flesh and dwelt among us." 1 Peter tells us that we are born of the incorruptible seed of the word of God. That Word that Mary received into her was delivered by the angel that carried God's Word to her. When Mary said, "Be it unto me as you have spoken", she received the incorruptible seed of the word into her.
That Word became flesh, but in the likeness , or image of, sinful flesh, not clothed in sinful flesh. If Jesus had sinful flesh then he had sin in the flesh, and the price he paid in flesh would have been for his own sinful flesh. Jesus had no sin at all except for that which he took for us upon that cross of our redemption.
