## Definition: ##

A teacher is a person who gives other people new information. Teachers help others to obtain and use both knowledge and skills.

|
* In the Bible, the word "teacher" is used in a special sense to refer to someone who teaches about God. It does not refer to a school teacher.
|
|
* People who learn from a teacher are called "students" or "disciples."
|
|
* In some Bible translations, this term is capitalized ("Teacher") when it is used as a title for Jesus.
