George,

I've thought about this for a few days, and I finally decided to look
for an example of Jesus rendering PROSKUNEW. Although, I find no
explicit examples of this, I did find an interesting thought in John
4:22:

hEMEIS PROSKUNOUMEN hO OIDAMEN.

Jesus seems to include himself as a worshiper of the Father. What
think ye?
