Bible Note: I'm not sure I understand your question. You asked me about a Biblical definition of "pastor". As far as the Greek word is concerned, there is no difference between a pastor or a shepherd- it is the same word. One tends a flock of sheep, the other tends a flock of people (the church). In usage, all instances except for the one in Eph 4:11, it is translated "shepherd" - with the qualification that Jesus refers to himself, and is refered to as the Shepherd or the Good Shepherd - John 10 and elsewhere. Did I answer your question? |
