The role and status of '''elders''' have varied across different time periods: In the Old Testament times, Elders were leaders of the Israelite tribes, chosen for their wisdom and virtue. During [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]’ time, elders were religious leaders of Judaism, often members of the [[Sanhedrin]] (Jewish ruling council). In the early Church, the term ''elder'' referred to a title given under the grace of the Holy Spirit to those spiritually mature and capable of teaching and leading the believers. | The role and status of '''elders''' have varied across different time periods: In the Old Testament times, Elders were leaders of the Israelite tribes, chosen for their wisdom and virtue.
