Presbyter
Presbyter (Greek πρεσβύτερος, : "elder" or "priest" in Christian usage) in the New Testament refers to a leader in local Christian congregations, presbyter referring to ordinary elders and episkopos referring exclusively to the office of bishop. In modern Catholic and Orthodox usage, it is thus distinct from ''bishop'' and synonymous with ''priest''. In mainline Protestant usage, the term is however not seen as referring to a member of the priesthood and terms such as ''minister'', ''pastor'' and ''elder'' are used. ==Etymology== The word ''presbyter'' derives from Greek ''πρεσβύτερος'' (''presbyteros''), the comparative form of ''πρέσβυς'' (''presbys''), "old man".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, πρέσβυ^ς )〕 The English word priest has presbyter as the etymological origin.〔''Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language'', College Edition, The World Publishing Company, Cleveland OH, s.v. "priest"〕
