In John 3:2, a Jewish man comes to Jesus and describes him as a man who has received revelation and miracles from God, saying, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus is referred to as “rabbi”, which is a term for the learned religious men among the Jews. He is referred to as a teacher whom God has sent with a mission, i.e., a prophet and messenger.
