And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
All Commentaries on Matthew 23:7 Go To Matthew 23
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Rabbi. A title like that of master or doctor. Judas gave it to our Saviour. (Matthew xxvi. 49.) And the disciples of St. John the Baptist call him so. (John iii. 26.)
Christ blames their pride, and vanity in affecting such titles, rather than the titles themselves. (Witham)
Didaskalos, properly a preceptor, as John iii. 10. Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? (Bible de Vence)
