Elder

“Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.””

“So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.”

“So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.”

“This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.”

“Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.”

“Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.””

“As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.”

“So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.”
