KJV ORIGINAL
And I 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: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
I dropped to my knees to worship him, but he stopped me right there. 'Don't do that,' he said. 'I'm just a servant like you — we're on the same team, along with everyone else who tells Jesus' story. Worship God, not me. Because sharing Jesus' truth? That's what real prophecy is all about.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even angels know the difference — worship goes to God alone, not the messenger.
