Teacher

– It was the name given to the Israelite spiritual leaders. Rabbi, Raboni meant my lord, my master.

– This is how Jesus was called several times:

Mt 23,8-9 : But do not be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.

Mt 26,25.49 : Judas, the traitor, took the floor and asked: “Master, will it be me?”. “Yes,” said Jesus.

Mk 1:22 : They marveled at his doctrine, because he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.

Mk 9,5 : Peter spoke: “Master, it is good for us to be here; we will make three tents.”

Mk 10:51 : Jesus […] asked him: “What do you want me to do for you?” – “Rabboni”, replied the blind man, “that I can see!”.

Mk 11:21 : Look, Master, how the fig tree you cursed has withered!

Mk 14:45 : As soon as he approached Jesus, he said: “Rabbi!” – and kissed him.

Jn 1,38.49 : Jesus […] asked them: “What are you looking for?”. They said to him: “Rabbi (which means Master)”.

Jn 4:31 : Meanwhile, the disciples asked him: “Master, eat”.

Jo 6,25 : Finding him on the other side of the lake, they asked him: “Master, when did you get here?”.

John 9:2 : Master, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jn 11:8 : “Teacher”, they replied, “a little while ago the Jews wanted to stone you, and are you going back there?”.

Jn 20:16 : Jesus said to her: “Mary!” Turning around, she exclaimed in Hebrew: “Rabboni!”

– This is what John the Baptist was called:

Lc 3,12 : Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and asked him: “Master, what must we do?”.

John 3:26 : Master, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness, behold, he is baptizing…

– And Jesus called the scribes and Pharisees:

Mt 23,7-8 : They like to be greeted in public squares and to be called Rabbi by men.

Jn 3:10 : Jesus said: “You are a doctor in Israel and you do not know these things!”.
