'Master' in the Bible

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--

In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

"Master," replied Simon Peter, "to whom shall we go? Your teachings tell us of the Life of the Ages.

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

So the sisters sent to Him to say, "Master, he whom you hold dear is ill."

His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

"Master," said the disciples, "if he is asleep he will recover."

Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.

"Yes, Master," she replied; "I thoroughly believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

Mary then, when she came to Jesus and saw Him, fell at His feet and exclaimed, "Master, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.

"Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."

When He came to Simon Peter, Peter objected. "Master," he said, "are *you* going to wash my feet?"

"Master," said Peter, "wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."

Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

“I assure you: A slave is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.

So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"

"Master," inquired Simon Peter, "where are you going?" "Where I am going," replied Jesus, "you cannot be my follower now, but you shall be later."

"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.

"Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"

"Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."

I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father.

Remember the word I spoke to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours.

So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus--and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him."

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her.

Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master.

So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."

This made the disciple whom Jesus loved say to Peter, "It is the Master." Simon Peter therefore, when he heard the words, "It is the Master," drew on his fisherman's shirt--for he had not been wearing it--put on his girdle, and sprang into the water.

"Come this way and have breakfast," said Jesus. But not one of the disciples ventured to question Him as to who He was, for they felt sure that it was the Master.

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus.

Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.

A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus.

Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that is betraying you?"

On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
