Indeed, Jesus warned against granting any fellow man the sort of spiritual respect demanded by modern priests: "Be not ye called Rabbi (teacher): for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren" (Matt. 23:8).
Kweli, Yesu alionya kumpa mtu - ndugu awaye yote heshima ya kiroho inayotakiwa na makuhani wa siku hizi: Ninyi msiitwe Rabi (mwalimu): maana mwalimu wenu ni mmoja, ndiye Kristo; nanyi nyote ni ndugu" (Math 23:8).
