People say that, because it's implicit in 2 Kings ch.20. Hezekiah was close to death, he prayed to God, and was promised more years of life (2 Kings 20:1-6), which implies clearly that his prayer included the request for further years of life.

Where in the Bible does Jesus ask to be worshiped?

Jesus urged people to follow Him, his teachings, and the issues as He heard them from the Father. Jesus never asked people to worship Him. Still, as they come to understand who He really is; they do worship Him as the Son of the living God (God the Son), for there are three persons in one God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. When people did worship Him, He never told them to stop as the angels always did, since it was appropriate for people to worship Him.


Why did Moses tell God to blot his name out of the Bible?

The bible says in Revelation 3:5 that those who are going heaven are those whose name is in the book of life. God had recently brought the Israelites out of over 400 years of slavery (Exodus 1-12) and had also revealed His majesty to them when He promulagated His eternal Law on Mt Sinai (Exodus 20). God had called Moses to come and dwell with Him and despite Moses only being away for less than 40 days the Israelites asked Aaron to make them another God (Exodus 32). God was justifiably upset and for the greater good of the multitude (Eccl 8:11) decided to punish them. Moses was basically saying to God "blot out my existence- I would prefer not to go heaven than to see these people that I love perish". God who I believe wanted Moses to interceed for His people decided not to grant Moses request but he mercifully did not destroy all the guilty people. Moses did not want the people that he loves to die and that is why he asked for God to blot his name out and spare the people (Exodus 32:31-33).


Why was the bible translated into Latin?

At the time of St. Jerome, Latin was sort of a universal language as Rome had conquered much of the known world. More people understood Latin than the original Greek and Hebrew. Latin is now a "dead" language so the meanings of words no longer change. The Latin bible is still used as the basis for all modern translations into a variety of languages,Roman Catholic AnswerThe Bible was translated by many different individuals in the first several centuries, into Latin. These were known as the Old Latin or Vetus Latin translations. Towards the end of the fourth century, Pope Damascus asked St. Jermone to prepare a common Latin translation for everyone. This was the standard until after Vatican Council II when the Holy Father asked for a new translation into Latin. Modern translations into other tongues are usually based on the ancient Greek and Hebrew Scriptures, no longer on the Latin translations. This method of translation is based on Pope Pius XII Encyclical, Divino Afflante Spiritu issued in 1943.
