The disciple is not above his master; this maxim was repeatedly used by our Lord, in different connections. Compare Matthew 10:24-25; John 13:16; John 15:20. Here its obvious meaning is, that the disciple cannot be expected to go beyond his master in attainments. If the master be blind, the disciple must be blind also.
That is perfect; fully instructed in the doctrine of his master.
