Note: angels of God wouldn't even alow anyone to worship them.
8:2And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord,
if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be
thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and
worshipped him.
28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain
where Jesus had appointed them.
28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
I have many more verses that show Jesus allowed and even commended worship of himself.
this is mainly for those who say Jesus was not worshiped.

Jesus isn't God, it wasn't even a consideration of the early church until about 1000 AD. Then the early church fathers had a big fight, and essentially killed off all the Christians who believed Jesus was a mortal man. It was wrong them, it is wrong now, and really what difference does it make? Descended from God, or actually God, a child of God or a part of God like we all are...

John 20:17: "Jesus said to her[Mary Magdalene]'do not hold me for I have not yet ascended to the Father;but go to my brethren and say to them I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God' (So to the resurrected Jesus the Father was God Just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly not once in Scripture do we find the father addressing to Son as "my God"
I guess my point is that you no that there are many scriptures and if one is going to just pick hear and there they will never find the truth.. You need to be able to look at the whole picture.. I would be curious on how you would give meaning to all the scriptures where Jesus said he wasn't there to do his will but the will of his Father that Sent him....
I do not believe that Jesus is God.. I no Jesus is the son of God.... Jesus is the head of man. Jesus head is God.. The head ship was wrote after Jesus went to heaven. So it is talking about Jesus in heaven not as a man on earth..
You can email me if you would like to talk more..
Have a good day...

People who were healed were allowing the spirit of God in Jesus to come into them.That is worshipping. Jesus would say, your faith made you whole(not me). Go and sin no more( Don't leave your true self)
When a Hindu meets another he bows to him. That is honoring God within the other person, not his human self. You could call that worshipping but everyone has God in him or her.

No, in no way. Jesus never mentioned he became God. Jesus never mentioned to worship him. in fact, Jesus mentioned to worship God Almighty. ~ John 17:3 Is Jehovah a Trinity—3 persons in a single God? No! Jehovah, the daddy, is "the only genuine God." (John 17:3; Mark 12:29) Jesus is His firstborn Son, and he's undertaking to God. (one million Corinthians 11:3) the daddy is larger than the Son. (John 14:28) The holy spirit isn't a guy or woman; that's God's lively tension.—Genesis one million:2; Acts 2:18 The trinity coaching is a blasphemous lie. And a gadget of devil the devil to fool people, and take them with him, whilst the time for his destruction has come. Get Out! whilst there remains time. whilst the Christ, the Son of God, walked the earth, he had many enemies. even nonetheless he's now previous actual attain, he has modern-day combatants. observe who're blanketed between them. The apostle John reported: “who's the liar no remember if it incredibly isn't any longer the single which denies that Jesus is the Christ? that's the antichrist, the single which denies the daddy and the Son.” (one million John 2:22) Apostates and leaders of fake worship twist the sparkling teachings of Jesus into knots of non secular deceit. Such ones reject Bible reality and unfold lies contained in the call of God and Christ. They deny the genuine courting of the daddy and the Son by using their Trinity doctrine. as a result, they too are a ingredient of the antichrist. _______________________________________... Acts 2:22 22 “adult men of Israel, pay attention those words: Jesus the Nazarene?, a guy publicly shown by using God to ?YOU? by using useful works and portents and indications that God did by using him in ?YOUR? midst, merely as ?YOU? yourselves be attentive to." sure, he became a guy, a hundred% human. whilst God transferred his existence (Jesus') from heaven into Mary, a virgin. _______________________________________... i'm certainly one of Jehovah's Witnesses. i'm a Christian. no longer a trinitarian.

The Greek word rendered “worship” is pro·sky·ne′o, which A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature says was also “used to designate the custom of prostrating oneself before a person and kissing his feet, the hem of his garment, the ground.”This is the term used at Matthew 14:33 to express what the disciples did toward Jesus; at Hebrews 1:6 to indicate what the angels are to do toward Jesus; at Genesis 22:5 in the Greek Septuagint to describe what Abraham did toward Jehovah and at Genesis 23:7 to describe what Abraham did, in harmony with the custom of the time, toward people with whom he was doing business; at 1 Kings 1:23 in the Septuagint to describe the prophet Nathan’s action on approaching King David.
At Matthew 4:10, Jesus said: “You shall worship [from pro·sky·ne′o] the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” (At Deuteronomy 6:13, which Jesus is evidently here quoting, appears the personal name of God, the Tetragrammaton.) In harmony with that, we must understand that it is pro·sky·ne′o with a particular attitude of heart and mind that should be directed only toward God.
Jesus is God's Son. John 10:36

This is just a twist of words in the Holy Scriptures,
the true words are obeisance, which is a form of paying respect, not worship-- only God is to be worshipped.

Jesus allowed people to worship him because he was part of the Holy Trinity: Father(God), Son (Jesus) and Holy Ghost. He is a part of God in flesh form.

Jesus is the son of God and they are both members of the holy trinity...so you can worship all three and not feel bad because they are all the same person...kinda like edward norton and tyler derdan...they are the sam guy!
