the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed.
Commentary on Matthew 23:71 voice
Likewise, they desire reverence; hence he says, and salutations in the marketplace, i.e., that they be greeted and honored by men, that the hood be removed before them, and that knees be bent before them; and they desire to be called by men, Rabbi, i.e., …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Matthew, 1274Patristic
- Matthew 23:8
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
Commentary on Matthew 23:81 voice
(cont. Helvid. 15.) All men may be called brethren in affection, which is of two kinds, general and particular. Particular, by which all Christians are brethren; general, by which all men being born of one Father are bound together by like tie of kindred.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
- Matthew 26:25
Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
Commentary on Matthew 26:251 voice
(Verse 25.) But Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said: 'Is it I, Lord?' Lest he should appear to betray himself by remaining silent, he likewise asks, being tormented by his conscience, who had boldly put his hand into the dish. Am I, Rabbi? He said to him: You have said it. And he joins a mingling of emotion, or a sign of disbelief. For the others who were not going to betray, they say: Am I, Lord?
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Matthew 26:49
Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Commentary on Matthew 26:491 voice
(Verse 49.) And immediately coming to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! And he kissed him. Shameless indeed and wickedly confident, to call the master and to throw a kiss to the one he was handing over. Nevertheless, the disciple still has something of discretion, as he does not openly hand him over to the persecutors, but through the sign of a kiss. This is the sign that God placed on Cain, so that whoever found him would not kill him (Genesis 4).
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Mark 9:5
Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Commentary on Mark 9:51 voice
O Peter, even though you have ascended the mountain, even though you see Jesus transfigured, even though his garments are white; nevertheless, because Christ has not yet suffered for you, you are still unable to know the truth.
Jerome· HOMILY 80, 420Patristic
- Mark 10:51
“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
Commentary on Mark 10:511 voice
And it should be noted what He says to the blind man as he approaches: "What do you want Me to do for you?" Did He who was able to restore light not know what the blind man wanted? But He wishes to be asked for that which He foreknows both that we will ask and that He will grant. For He urges us persistently to prayer, and yet says: "For your heavenly Father knows what you need before you ask Him."
Gregory the Dialogist· Forty Gospel Homilies, Homily 2, 604Patristic
- Mark 11:21
Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
Commentary on Mark 11:212 voices
You are now being joined with the holy vine. If, then, you abide in the vine, you grow into a fruitful branch, but if you do not so abide, you will be burnt in the fire. Let us therefore bring forth worthy fruit. For let it not come about that it should happen to us what happened to the barren fig tree in the Gospel. Let not Jesus come in these days and utter the same curse upon the fruitless. But instead may all of you say, "I am like a green olive tree in the house of God."
Cyril of Jerusalem· Catechetical Lecture 1:4, 386Patristic
The greatness of the miracle appears in the drying up so juicy and green a tree. But though Matthew says that the fig tree was at once dried up, and that the disciples on seeing it wondered, there is no reason for perplexity, though Mark now says, that the disciples saw the fig tree dried up on the morrow; for what Matthew says must be understood to mean that they did not see it at once, but on the next day.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 1107Patristic
- Mark 14:45
Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Commentary on Mark 14:451 voice
(ubi sup.) With envy and with a wicked confidence, he calls Him master, and gives Him a kiss, in betraying Him. But the Lord receives the kiss of the traitor, not to teach us to deceive, but lest he should seem to avoid betrayal, and at the same time to fulfil that Psalm, Among them that are enemies unto peace, I labour for peace. (Ps. 120:5) It goes on: And they laid hands on him, and took him.
Bede· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 735Patristic
- John 1:38
Jesus turned and saw them following. “What do you want?” He asked. They said to Him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are You staying?”
- John 1:49
“Rabbi,” Nathanael answered, “You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
- John 3:2
He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.”
- John 3:26
So John’s disciples came to him and said, “Look, Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, the One you testified about—He is baptizing, and everyone is going to Him.”
Commentary on John 3:261 voice
Rabbi, He that was with thee beyond Jordan, to Whom thou barest witness, behold, the Same baptizeth, and all men come to Him.
Cyril of Alexandria· Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 2, 444Patristic
- John 6:25
When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”
Commentary on John 6:251 voice
Their speech takes the form of being that of those who love Him and feigns sweetness, but is convicted of being exceeding senseless and childish. For they ought not on meeting with so great a teacher, to have talked to no purpose, and taken no pains to learn anything. For what was the need of being eager to ask Him, when He came there? what good would they be likely to get from knowing? We must then seek wisdom from the wise, and let a prudent silence be preferred to undisciplined words.
Cyril of Alexandria· Commentary on the Gospel of John, Book 3, 444Patristic
- John 9:2
and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
- John 11:8
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
Commentary on John 11:81 voice
But the disciples in their love for Him think it right to try to hinder Him, and moreover as men they suppose that He would be unwilling to put Himself in peril by going amongst the Jews. Wherefore also they remind Him of the madness of the Jews against Him, all but saying: "Why again dost Thou seek to be amidst the unbelieving and ungrateful people who are not softened either by Thy words or even by Thy works? who even yet are of murderous intent against Thee, and who are boiling with passionate rage?"
