I didn't. I did everything outside outside of the commandments.

Jesus was born without sin. Because he was 100% Man and 100% God he could have been tempted in his human nature. He couldn't sin for no one can get to God that isn't without sin.

Jesus was God and man, so He could have sinned. He was showing us how to live and He paid the price for our sins on the cross.

Christ did not sin. If he did, we would all be lost in our sins with no hope of redemption through His atoning sacrifice on our behalfs.
Jesus’ human nature could be tempted. He thirsted, hungered, and at times was full of righteous anger. Yet He never sinned. If He did, we are all lost and God is not God. Christ also was God with all of God's attributes, and these two natures existed in a hypostatic (fundamental state) union.
I doubt I can improve upon the discussion of Christ's dual nature that is found at http://www.carm.org/doctrine/2natures.htm

Anger - is a very unwholesome act, which causes harm to others and to oneself and a sin!
Anger, is a mental factor that, being able to bear a person, or a situation, or an idea, harbors ill will toward another, wishing harm to come upon them. "*Anger covers a wide range of emotions including annoyance, irritation, frustration, spite, belligerence, resentments, hatred, and rage.*"
"The forerunner to anger is a mental factor called inappropriate attention that, in this case, exaggerates the negative qualities of a person, or situation, or idea, and projects onto it negative qualities that are not there, thus creating an incorrect story about it."
"The physical meaning of anger, from a psychiatric view, includes the physiological activation of particular areas in the brain, releasing hormones into the body, which cause harm to others."
Anger, simply proves that we are all human, and need to work on improving areas of our life, to acquire a stable peace of mind.
Everyone gets angry. Jesus got angry at the
moneychangers in the temple, and took a whip that one of them was selling, and whipped those who were selling items outside the temple. He, through his anger, also knocked down all their tables as well.
I am trying to point out the faults of others, for we all have allowed anger, at one time or another to dominate our minds and emotions.
The only Point I am trying to make is this:
"Anger is a mental factor called 'inappropriate attention which exaggerates the negative qualities of a person, or situation, projecting negative qualities onto a person, or people, that are not really there, thus causing harm."
We all have done this. "We as a result learn from our mistakes and sins, and choose to no longer repeat the same mistakes/sins again, as what Jesus did."
After Jesus was so very angry, and raged, in that instant, He repented, and according to the Bible, never got angry again. That is why so many Catholics and Christians so Highly admire Him, and imitate Him, because He learned from His mistakes, and never repeated the same mistakes again. And especially, because He was, according to the bible, was willing to die on a cross, for those whom He loved.

He didn't because he wouldn't.
He could have.
He was tempted in the same ways everyone else is.
Satan himself even tried to tempt Jesus, but Jesus did not sin.

I'm voting that He did not sin, because He could have - He was after all 100% man, right? - but He chose not to. He showed us by example how to have the right heart, and that would lead us to God.

He didn't.
But he could have.
He was perfect, but this does not mean it was impossible for him to sin.
Adam was perfect and he committed sin.
This is why Jesus is called "The last man, Adam" by the apostle Paul at 1 Corinthians 15:45.

Jesus simply chose not to sin. Jesus faced temptation from satan, but Jesus chose not to follow.

I suspect the answer is no, because Jesus said that He can only do what His father shows Him to do.
