Christians claim that one of the evidences of the divinity of Christ that some people worshiped him (as stated in the Gospels) .

First, we have to understand what is meant by the word 'worship'. In the Arabic translation of the bible the word is سجد which is to bow down ?


What is the original meaning of the word 'worship'. Or سجد ?
In the original manuscripts the Greek word used for worship is pro·sky·ne'o. Unger’s Bible Dictionary says that this word literally means to ‘kiss the hand of someone in token of reverence or to do homage’. An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, by W. E. Vine, says that this word “denotes an act of reverence, whether paid to man or to God”. The context determines whether pros·ky·ne'o should be rendered "revere" or "worship."

How many times the word " worship" or سجد appear in the bible where other men than Jesus been "worshiped" ?
Too many to counts but I will give few examples

· The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. (KJV) Matthew 18:26 in the parable Jesus gave of the slave who was unable to repay a substantial sum of money to his master, that word appear, Was this man committing an idolatrous act? or is he just paying respect to his master?

· And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth. Genesis 43:26 (KJV) again were they worshiping Joseph?

· And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother Genesis 33:3 (KJV)

· And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. Genesis 42:6 kjv

·

Also in Genesis 43:28, Genesis 48:12, Exodus 18:7, 1 Kings 1:23, 1 Kings 2:19, 1 Kings 1:16, and 2 Samuel 24:20 etc

These are just few from many examples in the bible, where it is clear that the word pro·sky·ne'o, rendered “worship” in some Bible translations, is not reserved exclusively for the type of worship due to God. It can also refer to the respect and honour shown to another person.

Furthermore, if it can be shown that Jesus explicitly told people to worship God alone then it nullifies any of the above linguistic disagreements:

-[John 4:21-24] - Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."


Here Jesus is telling a non-Christian that what she currently worships is a false deity and that in order to be a true worshiper she needs to worship who Jesus worships, God almighty.

He also tells the Devil (as a response to being invited to worship the Devil):

-[Luke 3:8] - “And Jesus answered him, ‘It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’ ”
