What does the Bible say about Jesus being called Rabboni?

Answered in 1 source

Rabboni, meaning 'my great Lord,' is a title used exclusively for Jesus, denoting his supreme authority and love.

In John 20:16, Mary Magdalene calls Jesus 'Rabboni' upon recognizing him after his resurrection. This title emphasizes his unique position as her master and Lord, underscoring the personal relationship believers have with Christ. It is an acknowledgment of his authority and the reverence due to him as the Son of God. The other instance of this title is found in Mark 10:51, where Bartimaeus addresses Jesus in a similar manner, illustrating that this exclusive title is reserved for Christ alone and reflects deep reverence and love.
