What first-century texts about Jesus do you have that are not from Jesus' disciples? There are a bunch that were rejected by the church long before Rome or London had anything to do with Christianity.

Back to the worship, consider Matthew 2:11.

"They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh." (WEB)

Suppose you object that WEB is based on an authorized version. OK.

"and went into the house and found the chylde with Mary hys mother and kneled doune and worshipped hym and opened their treasures and offred vnto hym gyftes gold frackynsence and myrre." (Tydale)

Tyndale's translation was unauthorized.

Consider John 20:28-29.

"Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.'" (WEB)

"Thomas answered and sayde vnto him: my Lorde and my God. Jesus sayde vnto him. Thomas because thou hast sene me therfore thou belevest: Happy are they that have not sene and yet beleve." (Tyndale)

The gospels could be summarized like this: Jesus' closest disciples only gradually came to understand Jesus as God whereas the religious leaders quickly understood Jesus' claims to divinity and killed him for it.
