See Thou Do It Not
In chapters 19 and 22 of Revelation we read the admonishment to not worship the bringer of the message, but God only:
“And I [John] fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God” (19:10).
“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things” (22:8).
“Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God” (22:9).
Good Master
Several other passages in the Bible give a similar kind of message, for example in Mark 10:17-18.
“…there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.”
