Just where in the Bible is Jesus ordained a Rabbi?

I know he is addressed as such by the Apostles, but don’t recall anything specific in Scripture other than that.

The Pharisees in this story collaborated with the Herodians, whom they hated, to trick Jesus. (For those who may not know.)

I respect your faith, S. So I don’t want to be seen as attempting to undermine it.

Yet, I rather see the roll of the Sadducees and Pharisees as flipped in the Gospel accounts as to who actually killed Jesus; the Jews who had lived in The Land all their lives, of whom Jesus was one, or the pagan Roman occupiers whose known rule of conquest was brutality?

The Sadducees were among the privileged and moneyed classes so long as the running of The Temple went smoothly. It was they who stood to lose a lot more than did the Pharisees under Roman rule.

As for Jesus’ ordination, you’re right...unless it was John The Baptist. Though I suspect it was in The Temple, where so much of Jesus’ activities must have gone on, which are also unrecorded.
