And I suppose you know Greek and Aramaic?
Be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren. --Matt. xxiii. 8.
Origins of the term:
[Middle English rabi, from Old French, from Late Latin rabb, master, from Greek rhabbi, O my master, from Hebrew, and Aramaic rabbî, my master rab, master (from rab, to become great. See rbb in Semitic Roots) + -î, my.]
