Neither be you called masters: for one is your Teacher, even Christ.
All Commentaries on Matthew 23:10 Go To Matthew 23
John Chrysostom
AD 407
And again He adds, Neither be ye called guides, for one is your guide, even Christ; and He said not, I. For like as above He said, What think ye of Christ? and He said not, of me, so here too.
But I should be glad to ask here, what they would say, who are repeatedly applying the term one, one, to the Father alone, to the rejection of the Only-begotten. Is the Father guide? All would declare it, and none would gainsay it. And yet one, He says, is your guide, even Christ. For like as Christ, being called the one guide, casts not out the Father from being guide; even so the Father, being called Master, does not cast out the Son from being Master. For the expression, one, one, is spoken in contradistinction to men, and the rest of the creation.
