http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/
牧師是在一般基督新教的教會中,專職負責帶領及照顧其他基督徒的人。聖經原文的用
字就是牧羊人之意。牧師的一詞源於拉丁語的pastor,而希臘文為ποιμην ,與《
新約聖經以弗所書》4:11有關。但此經文在其他聖經譯本卻有不同譯法,如牧人(
《聖經 (呂振中譯本)》和《聖經恢復本》)、司牧(《聖經 (思高譯本)》)、牧養(
《聖經新譯本》)。
許多學者認為,基督教在3世紀後受到周圍異教徒的影響,將神父和主教的職務自一般信
徒分離出來。在這個時候開始,一位主教可以監督全城或教區的信徒。宗教改革後,加
爾文、慈運理和其他改革者以牧師取代天主教的神父。一些新教徒認為,牧師的稱謂違
背了所有信徒皆祭司的教義 ,因此拒絕使用這個詞和牧師聘用制度 , 其中包括門諾會
和一些受弟兄運動影響的教會。
既然弗4:11原文是指牧人,為甚麼,《聖經和合本》要譯作《 牧師 》呢?
