Theophylact of Ohrid, on Acts 20:17
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
Acts 20:17 · Douay-Rheims
“And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.”
On this verse:
“"He called the elders of the church." Many are unaware of the custom of Scripture, especially of the New Testament, of calling bishops elders and elders bishops; yet this is evident both from this passage and from the Epistle to Titus, as well as from the Epistle to the Philippians. We could also learn whether the same thing should not be inferred, albeit by conclusion, from the First Epistle to Timothy as well.”
