As we see in Luke 22:11 the words "The Master saith" are "Ὁ Διδάσκαλος λέγει" which are "'The Teacher says,". There are Essene writings that refer to "The Teacher" as a prophet and leader among that was  even considered to be the [[messiah]] which is just the Hebrew word for [[Christ]].

The same word is also translated doctor. <Ref>: Luke 2:46  And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors <1320>, both hearing them, and asking them questions.</Ref>

But when the term is used in the Epistles and in Acts it is translated "teacher".<Ref>Acts 13:1  Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers <1320>; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
: Romans 2:20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher <1320> of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
: 1 Corinthians 12:28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers <1320>, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
: 1 Corinthians 12:29  [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers <1320>? [are] all workers of miracles?
Ephesians 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers <1320>;
: 1 Timothy 2:7  Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
: 2 Timothy 1:11  Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles.
: 2 Timothy 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers <1320>, having itching ears;
: Hebrews 5:12  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers <1320>, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
</Ref> There is an exception in James.<Ref>[[James 3]]:1  My brethren, be not many masters <1320>, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.</Ref>


Jesus was both Lord and a teacher as we see in several verses and by His own admission.<Ref>John 13:13  Ye call me Master <1320> and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am. 14  If I then, [your] Lord and Master <1320>, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.</Ref>

Lord and master also appear in another verse we we see a different word for master.

<blockquote>
[[Matthew 10]]:25  It is enough for the [[disciple]] <[[3101]]> that he be as his  master <[[1320]]>, and the servant <[[1401]]> as his  lord <[[2962]]>. If they have called the master of the house <[[3617]]><Ref>{{3617}}</Ref> Beelzebub <[[954]]><Ref>{{954}}</Ref>, how much more  [shall they call] them of his household?
