YES!!
Jesus is:
Jesus is God (Titus 2:13)
Jesus is the Son of God (John 9:35-37)
Jesus is the Lord (Rom. 1:3)
Jesus is the Christ (Matt. 1:16)
Jesus is our Savior (Luke 2:11)
Jesus is our Advocate with the Father (1John 2:1) Jesus is the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Heb. 12:2) Jesus is Not:
Jesus is Not the Father (Matt. 26:39) - Apostolic / UPC teaching
Jesus is Not just a Man (Mark 15:39) - Secular teaching
Jesus is Not just a Prophet (Mark 8:28-29) - Islamic teaching
Jesus is Not an angel who became a man - JW teaching
Jesus is Not the brother of the devil - Mormon teaching
Jesus is Not a man who found his inner light - New Age teaching
Jesus is Not one of many manifestations of God - Bahai Faith teaching
Jesus says to worship Only God (Matt. 4:10). Jesus accepted worship from people (Matt. 14:33). By allowing people to worship Him, Jesus was claiming Himself to be God. Even the angels worship Jesus (Heb. 1:6).
Speaking of angels, Angels refuse worship from Man -- The Angel told John to Only Worship God (Rev. 22:8-9) ---- Because Jesus is God, He never refused Worship from People (John 9:35-38) The True Jesus of the Bible is Worshiped (Matt. 2:2) The True Jesus of the Bible is Prayed To (Acts 7:55-60) The True Jesus of the Bible is Called God (2 Peter 1:1)
If the Jesus you believe in is NOT to be Worshiped, Prayed To, or Called God -- then you have faith in a FALSE Jesus! John 8:23, 24 - Jesus said, "I am from above. I am not of this world. If you do not believe that I am He [God], you will die in your sins."
"[7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. [8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Galations 1:8
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." 1 John 2:22,23

While Jesus never said to worship Him, he did accept the sincere worship of His disciples when they did so voluntarily.
Matthew 14:33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "You are certainly God's Son!"
Matthew 28:9-10
9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they shall see Me."
Matthew 28:17-20
17 And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
John 9:35-39
35 Jesus heard that they had put him out; and finding him, He said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" 36 He answered and said, "And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" 37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you." 38 And he said, "Lord, I believe." And he worshiped Him. 39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

Did he say,"Worship me"?"
Where did Jesus say, ‘I am only a prophet, don’t worship me,’ in those exact words? The unreasonable demand for a particular statement, if applied consistently, should force
any muslim to reject their own view! Jesus allows people to worship him. Further, Jesus never says to not worship him. So, it is allowed, but not forced.
Jesus received praise:
Mat. 21:15 "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they
were sore displeased,"
Mat. 21:16 "And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected
praise?"
John 20:28 "And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."
John 20:29 "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

He said, God is a spirit and whoever worships him must do so in spirit and in truth. Jesus also said him and the father are one so its worshipping him too.

Jesus never said, "Worship Me." He did say that He and the Father were One and that who ever sees Him sees the Father. So I am certain that we could interpret that to mean that when we worship God, we worship Jesus and when we worship Jesus, we worship God.

Jesus is God, and it says so in the Bible. He said to follow Gods word. He never said "Worship Me."

No unless you misquote Matt 4:10, which I've seen done.

Jesus is not the son of God, but a messenger of God. He would not say that, but the christians over praised him and think a man is God.
