It is a more emphatic form of "rabbi," indicating a deep respect and personal relationship with the teacher. In the New Testament, it is used to address Jesus, highlighting His role as a revered teacher and spiritual leader.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Jewish culture during the time of Jesus, teachers of the law and religious leaders were often addressed with titles of respect such as "rabbi" or "rabboni." These titles signified not only the individual's role as a teacher but also their authority and the respect they commanded within the community. The use of "rhabbouni" reflects a personal and intimate acknowledgment of Jesus' authority and wisdom.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4462</b> <i>rhabboní</i> (<i>rabboní</i>) – the emphatic form of <a href="/greek/4461.htm">4461</a> <i>/rhabbí</i> ("rabbi"), note the suffix (<i>-oni</i>). <a href="/greek/4462.htm">4462</a> <i>/rhabboní</i> ("high-rhabbi") refers to the <i>top religious leader in Judaism</i>, like the president of the Great Sanhedrin who functioned as <i>the</i> religious leader of the nation. </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Aramaic origin, cf. <a href="/hebrew/7227b.htm">rab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>my master, my teacher<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Rabboni (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4462: Ῥαββονί</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ῥαββονί</span></span> (so <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> in <a href="/interlinear/mark/10-51.htm">Mark 10:51</a>) and <span class="greek2">ραββουνι</span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ῥαββονει</span>, see references under <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ῤαββί</span></span>, at the beginning) (Chaldean <span class="hebrew">רִבּון</span>, lord; <span class="hebrew">רַבָּן</span>, master, chief, prince; cf.
