Jesus said “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mathew 20:28). Because the purpose why Jesus came to the earth was not be served but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for the sins of many, He did not ask anyone to worship Him during His life on earth. Jesus lived on this earth as a man sent by God.

But there are several instances in the Bible where Jesus accepted worship. Mathew 14: 33 “Then those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

Mathew 28:9, Luke 24:52, John 9:38 are the other examples. In all these verses, we do not see Jesus prohibiting anyone from worshipping Him. That’s because Jesus is worthy of all worship and glory and honor (Revelation 5:12).

Not only that, God the Father has commanded to worship Jesus, the Son of God. “And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." Hebrew 1:6.

In short, since the purpose of Jesus coming to earth was not to receive worship, He never asked anyone to worship Him. However, in many instances Jesus accepted worship and also God the Father commanded that the Son should be worshipped. Therefore Jesus is worshipped not because He demands worship but because He is worthy of Worship and the Father has commanded it.
