Matthew 23:8-10 ESV

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 23:10

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. Ver. 10. One is your Master ] Where then are magistri nostri parisienses? our doctores resolutissimi? our masters of opinions, whose word must stand for a law, whose tenets must pass for oracles? a By the canon law, Omnes sanctiones apostolicae sedis irrefragabiliter sunt observandae. The pope may not be disobeyed. a Quibus nihil placet nisl quod e capitis sui liripipio ipsi protulerint. Muchesias. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Matthew 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. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:8

8. Be not ye called Rabbi This does not forbid the ordinary diplomas of our literary institutions, any more than verse seven forbids the exchange of the ordinary civilities of life. Honour is due to learning; as wealth to industry, and authority to office. It is the thing, not the word, which our Lord here condemns under the word. Master Our word mister is this same word master. If the title doctor is unscriptural, then the very word which we appropriate to the most ordinary man is... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:9

9. Call no man your father Here again we should obviously fall into absurdity by a bare verbal and literal mode of interpretation. Has not the child a right to call his own parent father? Our Lord does not condemn the greetings and appellations which express the cordial, affectionate, and respectful feelings of life. This is the reverse of the Gospel spirit. But under the symbol of the names father, master, and rabbi, he does forbid that submission to men which stands in the way of our... read more
