This is actually a more literal translation from the Greek and Hebrew transcripts. As with any study, remember that no matter what translation of the scriptures you have, it is still a translation. Some words may be substituted for others as more appropriate or more picturesque. Later translations may use words that are more specific to the original intent and whose connotations have only recently come to mean what the writers intended. In this instance, "Rabbi" is more accurate than "Master", but the compilers of the KJV thought otherwise. The NIV uses the term “Rabbi” rather than “Master”.
