Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['06000500400008'], 'Content': 'The occurrence of ἀρχιποίμην ‘chief shepherd’ in {S:06000500400008} is an excellent example of figurative usage. There is no indication that by the time 1 Peter was written ἀρχιποίμην had acquired the conventional meaning of a title designating Christ as one who had principal responsibility for believers. The meaning of ἀρχιποίμην, therefore, is simply ‘chief shepherd,’ but the reference is to Christ in a function which does not involve the literal care of sheep.'}
