Sorry, but I can't accept that 'my father, my father' as an honorific title... or rather, as a basis for proof of a commonly used honorific title. It is an excited utterance under great stress. In fact, it is remarkable in it's uniqueness - if it were a common thing (as 'master' is), then we should see Elisha calling Elijah 'father' all the time.

"Under great stress?" Is that a euphemism for holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.? Surely Elisha was a prophet who was just then receiving a double portion of the Holy Spirit.

Perhaps Jesus had both Moses ("Moshe Rabbeinu") and Elijah in mind when he said this. Jews say Moses was called by at least ten names and three of ten start with the "abi" father/master of construct. He is also called "Moshe rabbeinu," Moses our Rabbi/Teacher. Interesting.

He was also being separated from his mentor and friend.

If Judah really believed that, they would follow Moshe, and not their tradition.
