Master

VIEW:23 DATA:01-04-2020
MASTER.—The Greek word for teacher is tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘master’ in 2Ma_1:10, Jam_3:1, and in all its occurrences in the Gospels except Luk_2:46, where it is ‘doctor,’ and Joh_3:2 ‘teacher.’ See Lord and Slave.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Throughout the countries of the region of the Bible story, many households were very large and included slaves and hired workers. The head of the household was commonly referred to as the master, and he exercised considerable authority (Gen_14:14; Gen_24:2; Gen_24:9; 1Sa_25:14; 1Sa_25:17).
In recognition of the dangers that accompanied such authority, Israelite law laid down that a master did not have the right to treat his servants as he wished. He had to recognize their rights, and be fair and honest in all his dealings with them (Exo_21:8-11; Exo_21:20; Exo_21:26-27; see SLAVE).
The New Testament further emphasizes the responsibility of masters towards their servants. Christian masters in particular are to be careful the way they treat their servants, because they themselves are answerable to a master, Jesus the Lord (Eph_6:9; Col_4:1; see WORK).
All Christians are servants of this divine Master and must give him their total allegiance (Mat_6:24; see JESUS CHRIST, sub-heading ‘Jesus as Lord’). One day their Master will assess their faithfulness in service and reward them accordingly (Mat_25:14-30; Mar_13:33-37; Rom_14:4; 1Co_4:1-5; see also STEWARD).

mas?ter (ארון, 'ādhōn, בּעל, ba‛al, רבּי, rabbı̄; δεσπότης, despótēs, διδάσκαλος, didáskalos, κύριος, kúrios, ῥαββί, rhabbı́): ?Master,? when the translation of 'ādhōn, ?ruler,? ?lord? (Sir), often translated ?lord,? denotes generally the owner or master of a servant or slave (Gen_24:9, etc.; Gen_39:2, etc.; Exo_21:4, etc.; Deu_23:15 bis; 2Sa_9:9, 2Sa_9:10 twice; Pro_30:10); elsewhere it is rather ?lord? or ?ruler? (often king, e.g. 1Sa_24:6, 1Sa_24:8; 1Sa_26:16); in the plural 'ădhonı̄m, it is, as the rule, used only of God (but see Gen_19:2, Gen_19:18; Deu_10:17; Psa_136:3, ?Lord of lords?; Isa_26:13, ?other lords?; Isa_19:4 (Hebrew ?lords?); Isa_24:2). Ba‛al, ?lord,? ?owner,? is translated ?master?: ?the master of the house? (Exo_22:8; Jdg_19:22, Jdg_19:23); ?the ass his master's crib? (Isa_1:3). We have it also translated ?masters of assemblies? (Ecc_12:11). See ASSEMBLIES, MASTERS OF. Compare Ecclesiasticus 32:1, ?master (of a feast),? the Revised Version (British and American) ?ruler?; Joh_2:9, ?ruler of the feast?; rabh (Dan_1:3; Jon_1:6, ?shipmaster?); rabh, Aramaic, ?great,? ?mighty,? ?elder? (Dan_4:9; Dan_5:11,? master of the magicians?); also sar, ?head? or ?chief? (Exo_1:11, ?taskmasters?; 1Ch_15:27, ?master of the song,? the Revised Version margin ?the carrying of the ark, Hebrew the lifting up?); ‛ūr, ?to call,? ?to awake,? is also rendered ?master? in the King James Version, ?The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar,? margin ?him that waketh and him that answereth,? the Revised Version (British and American) as the King James Version margin (Mal_2:12).
The verb ?to master? does not occur in the Old Testament, but we have in Apocrypha (The Wisdom of Solomon 12:18) ?mastering thy power? (despózōn ischúos), the Revised Version (British and American) ?being sovereign over (thy) strengh.?
In the New Testament despotēs answers to 'ādhōn as ?master? (1Ti_6:1, 1Ti_6:2; 2Ti_2:21), rendered also ?Lord? (Luk_2:29,etc.); kurios, is ?Master,? ?Lord,? ?Sir,? used very frequently of God or of Christ (Mat_1:20, Mat_1:22, Mat_1:24), translated ?Master? (Mat_6:24; Mat_15:27; the King James Version Mar_13:35; Rom_14:4, etc.); kathēgētḗs, a ?leader,? is translated ?Master? (Mat_23:8 (the King James Version), 10); didaskalos, a title very often applied to our Lord in the Gospels, is ?Teacher,? translated ?Master? in the King James Version Mat_8:19; Mat_9:11; Mar_4:38; Luk_3:12, etc.; the Revised Version (British and American) ?Teacher?; also Joh_3:2, Joh_3:10; Jam_3:1, ?be not many masters,? the Revised Version (British and American) ?teachers?; rhabbi, rhabbei (?Rabbi?) (a transliterated Hebrew term signifying ?my Teacher?) is also in several instances applied to Jesus, the King James Version ?Master? (Mat_26:25, Mat_26:49; Mar_9:5; Mar_11:21; Joh_9:2 (the Revised Version (British and American) leaves untranslated) Mar_10:51, ?Rabboni,? the King James Version ?Lord?; Joh_20:16 (?Rabbouni?), the Revised Version (British and American) ?Rabboni,? which see).
For ?master? the Revised Version (British and American) has ?lord? (1Sa_26:16; 1Sa_29:4, 1Sa_29:10; Amo_4:1; Mar_13:35; Rom_14:4); ?master? for ?lord? (Gen_39:16; 2Pe_2:1; Rev_6:10); for ?good man of the house? (Mat_24:43; Luk_12:39), ?master of the house?; in Eph_6:5, the Revised Version margin gives ?Gr lords? (in Eph_6:9, ?their Master and yours? is also Greek kurios); instead of ?the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ? (Jud_1:4), the Revised Version (British and American) reads ?our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ,? margin ?the only Master, and our Lord Jesus Christ?; for ?overcame them? (Act_19:16), ?mastered both of them.?
