         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:ἐπισκοπέω}[a] ‘to take care of,’ {D:35.39}) the position of one who has responsibility for the care of someone

         Glosses: ['position of responsibility', 'position of oversight']

         Comments: Though in some contexts ἐπισκοπή has been regarded traditionally as a position of authority, in reality the focus is upon the responsibility for caring for others, and in the context of {S:04400102000040} the reference is clearly to the responsibility for caring for the church (see {D:53.69}).
