MASTER (Noun and Verb) A. Nouns. 1. didaskalos (διδάσκαλος, 1320), “a teacher” (from didasko, “to teach”), is frequently rendered “Master” in the four Gospels, as a title of address to Christ, e.g., Matt. 8:19; Mark 4:38 (there are more instances in Luke than in the other Gospels); John 1:38, where it interprets “Rabbi”; 20:16, where it interprets “Rabboni.” It is used by Christ of Himself in Matt. 23:8 (see No. 6) and John 13:13–14; by others concerning Him, Matt. 17:24; 26:18; Mark 5:35; 14:14; Luke 8:49; 22:11; John 11:28. In John 3:10, the Lord uses it in addressing Nicodemus, rv, “the teacher” (kjv, “a master”), where the article does not specify a particular “teacher,” but designates the member of a class; for the class see Luke 2:46, “the doctors” (rv, marg., “teachers”). It is used of the relation of a disciple to his “master,” in Matt. 10:24, 25; Luke 6:40. It is not translated “masters” in the rest of the NT, save in the kjv of Jas. 3:1 “(be not many) masters,” where obviously the rv “teachers” is the meaning. See teacher. 2. kurios (κύριος, 2962), “a lord, one who exercises power,” is translated “masters” in Matt. 6:24; 15:27; Mark 13:35; Luke 16:13; Acts 16:16, 19; Rom. 14:4, kjv (rv, “lord”); Eph. 6:5, 9 (twice), the 2nd time of Christ; so in Col. 3:22; 4:1. See lord. 3. despotes (δεσπότης, 1203), one who has “absolute ownership and uncontrolled power,” is translated “masters” in 1 Tim. 6:1, 2; Titus 2:9; 1 Pet. 2:18; of Christ, 2 Tim. 2:21; 2 Pet. 2:1, rv (for kjv, Lord); in Jude 4, rv, it is applied to Christ “(our only) Master (and Lord, Jesus Christ),” kjv “(the only) Lord (God)”; in Rev. 6:10, rv, in an address to God, “O Master” (kjv, “O Lord”). It is rendered “Lord” in Luke 2:29 and Acts 4:24. See lord.¶ Note: For “master of the house,” see goodman. 4. rabbei (ῥαββί, 4461) was an Aramaic word signifying “my master,” a title of respectful address to Jewish teachers. “The Aramaic word rabbei, transliterated into Greek, is explicitly recognized as the common form of address to Christ, Matt. 26:25 (cf., however, v. 22, kurios); 26:49; Mark 9:5, but Matt. 17:4, kurios” (Dalman, The Words of Jesus). In the following the rv has “Rabbi” for kjv “Master”; Matt. 26:25, 49; Mark 9:5; 11:21; 14:45; John 4:31; 9:2; 11:8. In other passages the kjv has “Rabbi,” Matt 23:7–8; John 1:38, 49; 3:2, 26; 6:25.¶ Note: The form Rabbounei (Rabboni), in Mark 10:51, is retained in the rv (for kjv, “Lord”); in John 20:16, in both kjv and rv. This title is said to be Galilean; hence it would be natural in the lips of a woman of Magdala. It does not differ materially from “Rabbi.”¶ 5. epistates (ἐπιστάτης, 1988) denotes “a chief, a commander, overseer master.” It is used by the disciples in addressing the Lord, in recognition of His authority rather than His instruction (Nos. 1 and 6); it occurs only in Luke 5:5; 8:24, 45; 9:33, 49; 17:13.¶ In the Sept., 2 Kings 25:19; 2 Chron. 31:12; Jer. 36:26; 52:25.¶ Note: “The form epistata … alongside of the commoner didaskale is … a Greek synonym for the latter, and both are to be traced back to the Aramaic rabbei.” Christ forbade His disciples to allow themselves to be called rabbi, “on the ground that He alone was their Master, Matt. 23:8. In reference to Himself the designation was expressive of the real relation between them. The form of address ‘Good Master’ He, however, refused to allow, Mark 10:17, 18 … in the mouth of the speaker it was mere insolent flattery … the Lord was unwilling that anyone should thoughtlessly deal with such an epithet; and here, as always, the honor due to the Father was the first consideration with Him.… The primitive community never ventured to call Jesus ‘Our Teacher’ after He had been exalted to the Throne of God. The title rabbi, expressing the relation of the disciple to the teacher, vanished from use; and there remained only the designation maran, the servant’s appropriate acknowledgement of his Lord” (Dalman). 6. kathegetes (καθηγητής, 2519), properly “a guide” (akin to kathegeomai, “to go before, guide”; kata, “down,” hegeomai, “to guide”), denotes “a master, a teacher,” Matt. 23:10 (twice); some mss. have it in v. 8, where the most authentic have No. 1.¶ 7. kubernetes (κυβερνήτης, 2942), “the pilot or steersman of a ship,” or, metaphorically, “a guide or governor” (akin to kubernao, “to guide”: Eng., “govern” is connected; cf. kubernesis, “a steering, pilotage,” 1 Cor. 12:28, “governments”), is translated “master” in Acts 27:11; “shipmaster” in Rev. 18:17.¶ In the Sept., Prov. 23:34; Ezek. 27:8, 27–28.¶ B. Verb. katakurieuo (κατακυριεύω, 2634), “to exercise lordship” (kata, “down upon,” kurios, “a lord”), is translated “mastered” in Acts 19:16, rv, of the action of the evil spirit on the sons of Sceva (kjv, “overcame”). In translating the word amphoteron by its primary meaning, “both,” the rv describes the incident as referring to two only. It has been shown, however, that in the period of the Koine (see Foreword) amphoteroi, “both,” was no longer restricted to two persons. Ramsay ascribes the abruptness of the word here to the vivid narrative of an eye witness. See dominion, lord, lordship.
