Matthew 8:2
KJV
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
NIV
A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Was this an act of worship, or simply a gesture of cultural respect? Only God is to be worshipped (Mat. 4:10, Rev. 19:10, 22:8-9); thus the change from ‘worshipped’ to ‘knelt before’ removes the divinity of Christ from this passage.
