RABBI
In the Old Testament the title rab referred to any eminent holder of an office. Rabbi literally means “my master.” In the New Testament it is the honorable name by which the Disciples addressed Jesus as their Master (Matthew 23:7; John 1:38). Soon after the apostolic age it became the recognized title of Jewish religious teachers, and all modern Jewish clergy are called rabbis. (Etym. Aramaic rab, master + first person pronomian suffix: my master.)

Yeshua was the Rabbi, the great one, the son of Yehova.

Yeshua told his disciples that they had no master among men.

He said be not called Rabbi.

How do you not understand this?

Rabbi and Father are evil titles.
