Matthew
King James Version (KJV)


“Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)
23:8-10 The Jewish rabbis were also called father and master, by their several disciples, whom they required, To believe implicitly what they affirmed, without asking any farther reason; To obey implicitly what they enjoined, without seeking farther authority. Our Lord, therefore, by forbidding us either to give or receive the title of rabbi, master, or father, forbids us either to receive any such reverence, or to pay any such to any but God.
23:11 #Mt 20:26|.
23:12 Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself shall he exalted - It is observable that no one sentence of our Lord's is so often repeated as this: it occurs, with scarce any variation, at least ten times in the evangelists. #Luke 14:11|; 18:14.
Mt 23:10 Master. Also an honorary title. All such are to be avoided in the church.
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, euen Christ.
