In the ancient Jewish context, marketplaces were not just centers of commerce but also social hubs where people gathered. The Greek word for "greetings" is "aspasmoi," which implies more than a simple hello; it suggests a formal acknowledgment of status. The Pharisees desired these public accolades as a demonstration of their perceived spiritual superiority. Historically, this reflects a culture where social standing and public honor were highly valued, and religious leaders often sought to elevate their status through visible displays of piety. and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed Rabbi, Rabbi.--The title, which properly meant a "great" or "chief" one, as in Rab-Mag ("the chief priest," Jeremiah 39:3), Rabsaris ("the chief eunuch," 2Kings 18:17), had come to be applied, in the days of Hillel and Shammai, to the teachers or "masters" of the Law, and, as such, was given to the scribes who devoted themselves to that work. In Rabban (said to have been first given to Simeon, the son of Hillel) and Rabboni (John 20:16) we have forms which were supposed to imply a yet greater degree of reverence. Verse 7. - Greetings in the markets. They loved to be denoted as superiors by respectful salutations in public places. To be called Rabbi, Rabbi; "My Master" (compare the French Monsieur, used not only vocatively, but absolutely); the term addressed by scholars to their teacher, and repeated for ostentation's sake, of course implying superiority in those thus called. Christ himself was thus addressed by those who desired to denote his authority and preeminence (Matthew 22:16, 24, 36; comp. John 1:38). These greetings and salutations were enjoined on scholars and inferiors, under pain of ecclesiastical censure and loss of salvation.Parallel Commentaries ...
