When we read Matthew chapter 4, we see that Jesus told Satan that NO ONE should be Worshiped except almighty God. The Greek word that was used here for the word worship is Proskinaos. Since Christ said that worship should only be provided to God alone, then surely Jesus was not worshiped.
Or was he?
Jesus was worshiped as a baby
Matt. 2:11--"And they came into the house and saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him; and opening their treasures they presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh."Jesus was worshiped during his earthly ministry ( by his disciples)
Matt. 14:33--"And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, "You are certainly God’s Son!"
Jesus was worshiped after his resurrection ( by his disciples)
Matt. 28:9--"And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him."
Jesus was worshiped during his earthly ministry (by the people.)
John 9:35-38--"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."
In all the above verses, the word for worship is ALSO proskinao. What we see is that Jesus told Satan that no one is to be worshiped (proskinao) but God alone , yet Jesus accepted the worship (Proskinao) that the people gave him. What do you think this means?
