John, Chris, Edgar (in the order received):
Thanks for your responses. Yes, it does appear Judas had planned to
betray Christ (26:14-16). Perhaps his choice of words (MHTI EGW EIMI,
hRABBI) was was simply a reflection of what everybody else had been
saying and Judas' way of not giving himself away. Surely OUK EGW EIMI
would have had a contrary affect.
Yes, the title hRABBI, versus KURIOS, is significant.
Thanks also for the Hebrew connection on SU EIPAS, Edgar.
