13 Francis A. Sullivan, S.J., From Apostles to Bishops: The Development of the Episcopacy in the Early Church (New York and Mahwah, NJ.: Newman Press, 2001), 15. Episcopos and its cognates are mentioned in Acts 1:20, Phil. 1:1, Acts 20:28, 1 Tim. 3:1-2, and Titus 1:3. How this office compares with that of later bishops remains uncertain.
