Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 23:7

_ _ And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi — It is the spirit rather than the letter of this that must be pressed; though the violation of the letter, springing from spiritual pride, has done incalculable evil in the Church of Christ. The reiteration of the word “Rabbi” shows how it tickled the ear and fed the spiritual pride of those ecclesiastics.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 23:7

And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, (f) Rabbi.

(f) This word "Rabbi" signifies one that is above his fellows, and is as good as any of them: and we may see by the repeating of it how proud a title it was. Now they were called Rabbi who, by the laying on of hands, were uttered and declared to the world to be wise men.
