The term is used in both the Old and New Testaments to denote leaders who are tasked with governance, spiritual oversight, and the administration of justice and order. Old Testament Context: In the Old Testament, elders were respected leaders within the Israelite community. They were often heads of families or clans and played a crucial role in decision-making processes. The elders of Israel were involved in various aspects of community life, including legal matters, religious ceremonies, and social issues. For example, in <a href="/exodus/3-16.htm">Exodus 3:16</a>, God instructs Moses to gather the elders of Israel to communicate His plans for their deliverance from Egypt: "Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.’" New Testament Context: In the New Testament, the role of elders becomes more defined within the structure of the early church. Elders, also known as overseers or bishops, are responsible for shepherding the flock, teaching sound doctrine, and maintaining church discipline. The Apostle Paul provides qualifications for elders in his pastoral epistles. In <a href="/1_timothy/3.htm">1 Timothy 3:1-7</a>, Paul outlines the character and abilities required for someone to serve as an elder, emphasizing qualities such as being "above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach." The Book of Acts also highlights the appointment of elders in the early church. In <a href="/acts/14-23.htm">Acts 14:23</a>, Paul and Barnabas appoint elders in each church they established: "Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust." Functions and Responsibilities: Elders are entrusted with the spiritual care and leadership of the church. Their responsibilities include teaching and preaching the Word of God, providing pastoral care, and protecting the church from false teachings. In <a href="/titus/1-9.htm">Titus 1:9</a>, Paul instructs that an elder "must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it." Elders are also called to be examples to the flock, leading by their conduct and integrity. In <a href="/1_peter/5.htm">1 Peter 5:1-3</a>, Peter exhorts the elders to "be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." Plurality and Accountability: The New Testament model for church leadership often emphasizes a plurality of elders, suggesting that multiple elders should lead each congregation. This plurality provides a system of accountability and shared responsibility, ensuring that no single individual holds excessive power. The collective wisdom and diverse gifts of multiple elders contribute to the health and growth of the church. Conclusion: The biblical concept of elders encompasses a rich tradition of leadership and service, rooted in both the Old and New Testaments. Elders are called to be shepherds, teachers, and examples, guiding the people of God with wisdom, humility, and integrity. Their role is vital to the spiritual well-being and doctrinal soundness of the church, as they seek to honor God and serve His people faithfully.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4244.htm">4244. presbuterion -- a body of elders</a> ... a body of elders.
