Matthew 23:6-8

6They love the place of distinction and honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues [those on the platform near the scrolls of the Law, facing the congregation],

7and to be greeted [with respect] in the market places and public forums, and to have people call them Rabbi.

8But do not be called Rabbi (Teacher); for One is your Teacher, and you are all [equally] brothers.
