I know some of em called him Rabbi, but some of em thought he was John the Baptist too, or one of the prophets come back from the dead.

Post subject:  Mark Ledbetter: Rabbi - Yes and No

In the eyes of modern observant Jews, there is no more revered individual than the Rabbi. Yet, the image of the rabbi as an ordained religious and community leader today is somewhat different than the individual referred to as Rabbi in the first century. There were no formal succession to the position of Rabbi and no formal ordination.Though recognized as a teacher extraordinaire the sage deserving of the title Rabbi were recognized as Rabbi, or my master.So, yes Jesus was recognized by His disciples as Rabbi, and no, there was no formal ordination prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led

So Jesus was not trained as a rabbi according to the standards of his day, nor was he recognized by the Jewish powers that be at that time as an official rabbi, it's only that some among the populace called him rabbi, correct? Some called him a wine bibber too - so since everyone assumes that is true - you must also assume being a rabbi is true.They also called him blasphemer - so we must also assume that is true.Someone said it and it is recorded in the Bible - that settles it

Perhaps I'm missing something here.Rabbi today is used as an official title much like the title reverend. I early 1st-century Judaism (Pre-Temple Destruction, 70 AD), Rabbi was an honorific title given to men who were recognized for the acumen in Torah and expounding the meaning and application. There was no official order of Rabbis.Rabbi, meaning my master is found once in Matthew (23:8) and 5 times in John's Gospel (1:38, 49; 3:2, 26; 6:25). Mary uses the Aramaic version when she called Jesus Rabboni (John 20:16).Was Jesus recognized by the Sanhedrin as a Rabbi, no for the simple reason there was no official order of Rabbis and because Jesus seemed to rub them the wrong way.However, we find Nicodemus, a Pharisee, a ruler of the Jews, and a leading teacher come to him and said, Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can doe these signs that You do unless God is with him. (John 3:2). Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea were two prominent Pharisees who were numbered among the many of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing Him, for fear that a they would be put out of the synagogue. (John 12:42- not all Pharisees were hypocrites).Jesus' authority was questioned by the elders but Jesus wouldn't give them a straight answer (Matthew 21:23).Now many of the general populace recognized Jesus as a great teacher and attested with their reaction recorded at the end of the Sermon on the Mount:When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. (Matthew 7:28-29).In other words, unlike the other sages who quoted other sages and rested upon the authority of a succession of sages, Jesus taught like He had a direct pipe line to another Authority. Jesus said, My teaching is not Mine, His who sent Me. (John 7:16)So, what do I assume based upon Scripture and research:1. The title Rabbi used in the Gospels was an honorific title used out of respect for a recognized teacher and was an endearing term.2. Since there was no order of Rabbi in this time period it would be erroneous to assume anyone was an official rabbi but, as stated in no. 1, used by the populace in recognition of the teacher who demonstrated his understanding and application of the Torah excelled above others.
