No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.     You cannot serve God and mammon.    - Mat 6:24
Don't be Double Minded .     It is an unacceptable state manifesting confusion and weakness .   

And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow you wherever you go.    - Mat 8:19
Zeal is important but counting the cost is necessary.   

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eats your Master with publicans and sinners ?    - Mat 9:11
Their Fear of contamination and fear of losing reputation for such actions prompted this question.   

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord .    - Mat 10:24
Order is as aspect of God's Character .   

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord .     If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?    - Mat 10:25
The Servant should be subjected to the same things that the Master is.     This includes false allegations, ridicule, hatred and death .   

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.    - Mat 12:38
So, Teaching with Authority, Healing the Sick, setting the Captive Free and raising the Dead are not signs to these perverse Unbelievers .   

And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.    - Mat 15:27
She acknowledges the fact that God called Israel and Humbly pleads for the crumbs.   

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your master pay tribute?    - Mat 17:24

Buttering Jesus up so they can catch Him in His response.   

Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.    - Mat 22:24

Master, which is the great commandment in the law ?    - Mat 22:36
The Pharisees were still seething because of the Worship Jesus received from the multitude when He entered Jerusalem .   

But be not you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brothers.    - Mat 23:8
Christ is the head of the Church .     Everyone else is a member in particular and a fellowlaborer.   

Neither be you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ .    - Mat 23:10
Titles should be avoided because they engender Pride and deflect Believers from direct Relationship with God .   

And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my disciples .    - Mat 26:18

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I?     He said unto him, You have said.    - Mat 26:25

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, care you not that we perish ?    - Mar 4:38
Perfect Peace is ours in Christ Jesus regardless of the raging that may be going on outside of us.     

The fact that the Disciples took Jesus' passivity as a lack of care is telling.      People who enjoy drama make everything worse than it is.     They stir the pot.     They are not so much interested in solutions as they are problems .      Jesus' calmness was because He knew who He was and that nothing could come against Him that God had not given Him to the Power to handle.     The Disciples were not so Confident in God or even the man whom they were following who had performed great Healings, Miracles and Deliverance .   

While he yet spoke, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Your daughter is dead: why trouble you the Master any further?    - Mar 5:35

And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name, and he follows not us: and we forbade him, because he follows not us.    - Mar 9:38
Denominationalism being birthed right here.   

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life ?    - Mar 10:17
This person wanted what God has ( Eternal Life) - not God .   

And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.    - Mar 10:20
This man may be sincere but he is self-deceived.   

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that you should do for us whatsoever we shall desire .    - Mar 10:35

And Peter calling to remembrance says unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away.    - Mar 11:21
