         Comments: For another interpretation of ἐπισκοπέω in {S:05801201500002}, see {D:35.39}. Some scholars have seen in the occurrence of ἐπισκοπέω in {S:05801201500002} a meaning at least somewhat similar to that which occurs in {L:ἐπισκοπέω}[c] ‘to be responsible, to care for’ ({D:53.70}).

         DefinitionShort: to have responsibility for the care of someone, implying a somewhat official responsibility within a congregation

         Glosses: ['to minister unto', 'to be responsible', 'to care for']

         Comments: It is possible, however, that {L:ἐπισκοπέω} in {S:06000500200016} is not to be understood as designating some official responsibility but merely as a role of helping and serving (see {D:35.39}).
