CANON XXXIII: None of the foreign Bishops, or Presbyters, or Deacons shall be received without letters commendatory.
法令三十三:若无推荐信,不得接纳任何外地的主教、或司铎、或执事。
We'll see later that, in this period, bishops seem to actually have been elected by the people, at least by the presbyters.
我们会看到后来…在这个时期,主教似乎是人民自己选出来的,至少也是长老选出来的。
We saw presbyters and deacons,and bishops in a certain sense, in the Pastoral Epistles,but they weren't carefully formed into a three-tiered institution of offices.
《教牧书信》上就看到有长老,执事,主教,但这三个职位在那本书里还没形成,清晰的三层等级结构。
Priests, these are the bishops of the old system, have changed their name to presbyters, perhaps, and they look like revolutionaries, but they're manipulative, controlling actions haven't essentially changed at all.
牧师,这些是旧制度的主教,或许已经把名字变为长老,他们看起来像革命者,但其实他们的操纵,控制的行为并没有改变什么。
Now of course, the presbyters had seized control in the first place because they disapproved of the tactics of suppression and intervention that had been deployed by the bishops, or the prelates, of the old church.
当然,现在长老首先掌握了控制权,因为他们对旧教会主教和教士的,镇压和干预策略非常反对。
But if,per chance,there came,also, anyone who had followed the Presbyters," the elders, "I made inquiry concerning the words of the Presbyters, what Andrew or what Peter had said, or what Philip or what Thomas or James,or what John or Matthew, or any of the other disciples of the Lord said.
但如果碰巧有谁,曾跟随过长老“,即长者,“我就会问他们长老之言,安得烈之言,彼得之言,腓力,多马,雅各布,约翰,马太,或主的其他门徒之言。
