John the Baptist, maybe. Although he wouldn't have called himself a Guru because that's Sanskrit and he was a Hebrew.

# Ok
but the Sanskrit word is currently used in our language to denote a teacher, specifically of a spiritual bent.

I also haven't the faintest idea what spiritual teacher is in Hebrew - Rabbi perhaps?

# Yeah, Rabbi,
(Jesus's desciples refer to him as such in some verses) actually I think literally it just means teacher.
