IMO, It means that Jesus, while alive in the flesh, was susceptible to everything we are.
He was hated, scorned, ridiculed, tempted, angered, called a liar, (false prophet,) rejected by his own people, unjustly accused, unfairly tried and judged, executed, etc. etc.
These are many of the things we each must go through and one could say they are tests from God. Or one could say these things are sent by Satan to test our faith and belief in God.

@IM5688 Very very nice answer. Thank you for sharing your reply. God allowed those tests to come upon Jesus, His Son, to prove that Satan could not break Jesus Christ integrity, loyalty, obedience and love for his heavenly Father Jehovah. And so as you've beautifully stated Jesus was tested in all respects to the limit when he gave his life as a ransom sacrifice for anyone exercising faith in him. (John 3:16)

@seotelkniwt Here's something to think about: Do you think Jesus was tempted to have immoral thoughts and commit sexual immorality?

@Klingwood Yes very true, but true to form, Satan the Devil was not going to leave any stone upturned in the case of the perfect man Jesus, God's only begotten son. Afterall, Satan got the perfect man and woman, Adam and Eve to sin against their heavenly Father, so just maybe he figured he could get Jesus to do the same.

@Klingwood Yes absolutely. The only interest Jesus had was to do the will of his heavenly Father Jehovah God. (JOHN 4:34, JOHN 6:38, HEBREWS 10:7).
