→‎Chapter 3 Verse 12: Perhaps additional words should be considered: "Sir", "Boss", "Mister", "Coach", others?
Line 11: Line 11:  
Master is the original, Teacher is the modern version. Jesus asked his disciples "Who do they say I am?" I am thinking the replacement should be "Rabbi" (a respected authority) or "Great Prophet" (some say Elijah, some say John the Baptist). --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 12:38, 30 October 2009 (EDT)

:The Greek is 'didaskale' (teacher, instructor). KJV uses 'master' (a very common term for a teacher pre 20th century).  I like the old-fashioned 'master', but I think 'teacher' is better understood these days.  I think 'Rabbi' is diverging a little from the original word, and 'Great Prophet' is simply not what the original text says *and* breaks the relationship described between Jesus as teacher and his disciples/students.

::Teacher has different connotations today, as in tenures public school officials or professors.  It may work in some contexts, but I doubt all.  Perhaps additional words should be considered:  "Sir", "Boss", "Mister", "Coach", others?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:34, 6 November 2009 (EST)
