The disciples of John the Baptist called him "Rabbi": John 3:26.
rhábbi [rabbi], rhabbouní [master]
A. Judaism.
1. The term rab denotes one who holds a respected position, e.g., an official. It is used by an inferior to a superior. Students use it in addressing their teachers, but it may also be used for the Messiah or for God as Lord of the world.
2. The use for teachers goes back to the second century B.C. Students follow their teachers with respectful obedience. When qualified to teach, they themselves are given the title, which the people as a whole also uses. It occurs on many inscriptions from Palestine, Syria, Cyprus, and Italy.
B. The NT.
1. In the NT rhábbi occurs only in the Gospels. Mt 23:7 censures the scribes for desiring the title. The Baptist is called rhábbi in Jn 3:26.
2. Jesus is called rhábbi by Peter in Mk 9:5 and Judas in 14:45. The term didáskalos in Mk 4:38; 9:17, etc. has the same force. John explains the use in 1:38. Jesus is addressed as rhábbi in 1:49; 3:2; 4:31; 6:25; 9:2; 11:8. rhabbouní in Mk 10:51 and Jn 20:16 is an alternative form. The use of rhábbi shows that Jesus is viewed as a teacher by his disciples and the people. He differs from an ordinary scribe in that he chooses his own disciples and teaches authoritatively. Since the disciples never become rabbis as Jesus is, he also has a unique status as their kýrios (Mt 8:25; 20:33).
3. As the Palestinian tradition becomes less prominent, rhábbi does not occur in other Christian writings.
