The term bishop comes from the Greek word espiskopos which mean “overseer.” As Greek was the early language of the Christian Church, this term was often used in the same way that the word presbyteros was. Presbyteros means “elder” or “senior” and serves as the root for the modern term priest. Starting in the 2nd century, with the writings of Ignatius of Antioch, the two terms were clearly distinguished and used in a sense of the order or office of bishop.
The term pastor is derived from the Latin noun pastor which means “shepherd” and from its earliest usage it has always referred to a role within the church that takes on a task of spiritual shepherding within the congregation. In the New Testament, it was also synonymous to the term elder, although that is no longer the case.[ii]
The terms pastor and bishop have two different histories in how they started out and in how their meaning evolved into its current definition. Early Christian churches, including the Church in Jerusalem, were organized similar to Jewish synagogues but included a council of ordained presbyters. Then in Acts 11:30 and 15:200, a collegiate governmental system is implemented in Jerusalem and led by James the Just, who is considered to be the first bishop of the city. At this time though, the words presbyters and espiskopos (later bishop) were used interchangeably and not in the sense to mean the holder of the office of bishop-which is the meaning that developed later. At this time the group of presbyter-bishops did not exert any power over the church; this was a function deferred to the Apostles or their delegates, who were better educated and highly respected. The modern meaning for bishop first occurs in Timothy and Titus in the New Testament, in which Paul commands Titus to ordain presbyters/bishops and exercise oversight while rebuking all other authority. As Christendom grew, bishops began to serve larger areas than individual congregations and instead appointed priests to manage each church as a delegate of the bishop.
