Whom Jesus Worshiped ?
In fact, John quotes Jesus as saying:
“...the Father(Almighty God) is greater than I.” (John 14:28).
And Paul declares that
The head of every woman is her husband,
The head of every man is Christ,and
The head of Christ is God (Check 1 Corinthians 11:3).
Early Biblical writers,What they wrote must be understood in the context of their belief that Jesus is a creature of God as they have already clearly said throughout their writings.
The later writers had a higher view of Jesus, but none of the writers of the Bible believed that Jesus is God. The Bible clearly teaches that there is only one true God, the one whom Jesus worshiped.
(John 17: 3).
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
(Peace be upon him)

Jesus said unto them, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.’
[John 8:58]
◕ Another verse commonly used to support the divinity of Jesus
This verse is taken to imply that Jesus existed prior to his appearance on earth. The conclusion drawn from it is that Jesus must be God, since his existence predates his birth on earth. However, the concept of the pre-existence of the prophets, and of man in general, exists in both the Old Testament, as well as in Qur‘an.
⇛ Jeremiah described himself in The Book of Jeremiah [1:4-5] as follows:
“ Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.’ ”
⇛ Prophet Solomon is reported in Proverbs [8:23-27] to have said:
“Ages ago I was set up at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water, Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth; before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world When he established the heavens, I was there.”
⇛ According to Job 38:4 and 21, God addresses Prophet Job as follows:
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding... You Know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!”
◕ In Qur‘an [7:172] God informed that man existed in the spiritual form before the creation of the physical world.
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى شَهِدْنَا أَنْ تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَذَا غَافِلِينَ
“When your Lord gathered all of Adam’s descendants [before creation] and made them bear witness for themselves, saying: ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They all replied: Yes indeed, we bear witness. [That was] so you could not say on the Day of Judgement: ‘We were unaware of this.’ ”
◕ Consequently, Prophet Jesus’ statement, “Before Abraham was, I am,” cannot be used as evidence of his divinity. Within the context of John 8:54-58, Jesus is purported to have spoken about God’s knowledge of His prophets, which predates the creation of this world.
