“Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.”
Matthew 23:10 KJV
Nor are you to be addressed as ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Anointed One. Jesus is emphasising the priority of God over titles of men and over all teachers, fathers and leaders. He is not teaching us to be disrespectful to teachers, fathers and leaders, but that God must be in first place over all others. Even in the old covenant, the priests were instructed by God when directing the people who came for justice that “thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:”. In the new covenant every tongue will proclaim in every language: “Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh,” bringing glory and honor to God, His Father! Hallelujah!
