Exegesis
The second coordinated element is the infinitival clause kai kaleisthai hypo ton anthropon rhabbi {καὶ καλεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ῥαββί | kaí kaleîsthai hypó tôn anthrṓpōn rhabbí} ‘and to be called Rabbi by the people’. Here the present middle/passive infinitive kaleisthai functions as another accusative complement, expressing an ongoing desire for reputation.
Root and etymology
