a teacher (from didasko, "to teach"), cp. didaskalia, "teaching, doctrine, instruction," is translated "doctors," with reference to the teachers of the Jewish religion, Luk 2:46. Cp. paideutes, "a teacher." See MASTER, TEACHER.

"a teacher of the Law" (nomos, "a law," and No. 1), with reference to the teachers of the Mosaic Law, is used in the same sense as No. 1, Luk 5:17, Act 5:34; also of those who went about among Christians, professing to be instructors of the Law, 1Ti 1:7. See TEACHER. See under LAW.
