Rabbi
The word translated Rabbi[1] in the New Testament appears some 17 times but not always translated master or Rabbi. It is from the Hebrew word Rabi[2] which appears over 450 times in the Old Testament.
The rabi of the Old Testament was a servant of the people who as a Levite "belonged to God". The term might be equated with the term master because of the changes wrought by Herod and the Pharisees, especially because of their institution of Corban. Through the tradition blessed by a new kind of Sanhedrin they together had instituted a system of entitlements through registration with the temples built by Herod and Rabbinical Baptism.
This system of legal charity was making the people subjects because they were the dainties of rulers warned about in Proverbs, that were a snare warned about by David. These systems had already begun in Rome through their system of temples by way of the benefactors like Caesar.
John the Baptist would offer a new way and alternative through his Baptism and the practice of charity. In the Old Testament the rabi was also dependent upon freewill offerings. The Way of Jesus was in accord with John the Baptist and even the real Moses who said we were to love our neighbor as ourselves and not covet our neighbors goods through men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.
Rabbi is said to be from the word rab ReishBeit which was contracted from rabab[3] ReishBeitBeit meaning "to become many".
The term rabbi developed in its basic form a little more than a 150 years before Christ. It meant a learned teacher who had been trained up in the written and oral laws. The title "rabbi" was first used in the first century CE meaning a master teacher and source of knowledge about the complex interpretations of their view of the law of Moses. According to Christ the Pharisees not only did not know Moses nor understand that law but got it so wrong they were making the word of God to none effect with their system of Corban which they set up with the help of Herod.
