THROUGHOUT the centuries, many in Christendom have worshiped Jesus Christ as if he were Almighty God. Jesus himself, however, directed attention and worship only to Jehovah God.
Despite the fact that both the Old and New Testmanet forbid worshipping anyone other than God [b](Exodus 20:1-4; Deut. 5:6-9 ...[text shortened]... t through the Spirit of Jesus Christ is also true worship of God and of Jesus Christ.
Here is more info on what worship includes:
"Hebrew and Greek Terms. Most Hebrew and Greek words that can denote worship can also be applied to acts other than worship. However, the context determines in what way the respective words are to be understood.
One of the Hebrew words conveying the idea of worship (‛a‧vadh′😉 basically means “serve.” (Ge 14:4; 15:13; 29:15) Serving or worshiping Jehovah required obedience to all of his commands, doing his will as a person exclusively devoted to him. (Ex 19:5; De 30:15-20; Jos 24:14, 15) Therefore, for an individual to engage in any ritual or act of devotion toward any other gods signified his abandoning true worship.—De 11:13-17; Jg 3:6, 7.
Another Hebrew term that can denote worship is hish‧ta‧chawah′, which primarily means “bow down” (Pr 12:25), or do obeisance. (See OBEISANCE.) Whereas such bowing could at times simply be an act of respect or of courteous regard toward another person (Ge 19:1, 2; 33:1-6; 37:9, 10), it could also be an expression of worship, indicating one’s reverence and gratitude to God and submission to his will. When used with reference to the true God or false deities, the word hish‧ta‧chawah′ is at times associated with sacrifice and prayer. (Ge 22:5-7; 24:26, 27; Isa 44:17) This would indicate that it was common to bow down when praying or offering sacrificeThe Hebrew root sa‧ghadh′ (Isa 44:15, 17, 19; 46:6) basically signifies “prostrate oneself.” The Aramaic equivalent is usually associated with worship (Da 3:5-7, 10-15, 18, 28), but it is used at Daniel 2:46 to refer to King Nebuchadnezzar’s paying homage to Daniel, prostrating himself before the prophet."
So knowing that Jesus himself said to only worship his Father Jehovah as he is God Almighty and the only one to be worshiped in the true sense, then the context of the scriptures you've shown do not mean that type of worship that only Jehovah gets.
The worship Jesus recieved was not that worship that Jehovah recieves but the context shows it was to follow and serve him in whatever was needed by him.

-Removed-nope, I've explained it with countless references using simply Greek and English
grammatical constructs, for example, John is a doctor, to describe the relationship
between a predicate and the subject, if you dont get it after these very
simple examples, repeated again and again, i doubt you'll ever grasp it.
