Jesus never asked to be ' deified' HIMSELF, but directed all worship to his Father in heaven, Jehovah God.

(John 4:34) Jesus said to them: “My food is for me to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.

(John 1:18) No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is in the bosom [position] with the Father is the one that has explained him.
