CHAPTER 10 The Bishops of Jerusalem Narcissus having departed, and no one knowing where he was, those presiding over the neighboring churches thought it best to ordain another bishop. His name was Dius. He presided but a short time, and Germanio succeeded him. He was followed by Gordius, in whose time Narcissus appeared again, as if raised from the dead. And immediately the brethren besought him to take the episcopate, as all admired him the more on account of his retirement and philosophy, and especially because of the punishment with which God had avenged him.
CHAPTER 11 Alexander But as on account of his great age Narcissus was no longer able to perform his official duties, the Providence of God called to the office with him, by a revelation given him in a night vision, the above-mentioned Alexander, who was then bishop of another parish.
Thereupon, as by Divine direction, he journeyed from the land of Cappadocia, where he first held the episcopate, to Jerusalem, in consequence of a vow and for the sake of information in regard to its places. They received, him there with great cordiality, and would not permit him to return, because of another revelation seen by them at night, which uttered the clearest message to the most zealous among them. For it made known that if they would go outside the gates, they would receive the bishop foreordained for them by God. And having done this, with the unanimous consent of the bishops of the neighboring churches, they constrained him to remain. Alexander, himself, in private letters to the Antinoites, which are still preserved among us, mentions the joint episcopate of NarciSsus and himself, writing in these words at the end of the epistle:
"Narcissus salutes you, who held the episcopate here before me, and is now associated with me in prayers, being one hundred and sixteen years of age; and he exhorts you, as I do, to be of one mind."
These things took place in this manner. But, on the death of Serapion, Asclepiades, who had been himself distinguished among the confessors r during the persecution, succeeded to the episcopate of the church at Antioch. Alexander alludes to his appointment, writing thus to the church at Antioch:
"Alexander, a servant and prisoner of Jesus Christ, to the blessed church of Antioch, greeting in the Lord. The Lord hath made my bonds during the time of my imprisonment light and easy, since I learned that, by the Divine Providence, Asclepiades, who in regard to the true faith is eminently qualified, has undertaken the bishopric of your holy church at Antioch."
He indicates that he sent this epistle by
Clement, writing toward its close as follows:
"My honored brethren, have sent this letter to you by Clement, the blessed presbyter, a man virtuous and approved, whom ye yourselves also know and will recognize. Being here, in the providence and oversight of the Master, he has strengthened and built up the Church of the Lord."
they would receive the bishop foreordained for them by God. And having done this, with the unanimous consent of the bishops of the neighboring churches, they constrained him to remain.

졸역 : 그들(평신도)은 하느님에 의해 그들을 위해 미리 정하신 그 주교를 기꺼히 받아들였다. 그리고 그들은, 이웃 교회들의 주교들의 만장일치의 동의와 함께, 이것(주교 임명식)을 완료한 후, 강압적으로 그(Alexander)가 계속 남아있게 했다.

예루살렘의 주교 알렉산더 이야기.

이 당시도 사도행전과 로마의 클레멘트 제1 서신 등 고대 교부 문헌들의 방식대로 평신도 전체가 주교를 뽑으면 사도들이나 인근 교구들의 주교들이 인준하는 방식이었다.

여기서 배울 교훈 :
Alexander의 선임 주교 Narcissus가 생존해 있었음에도 불구하고 다른 교구들의 주교들의 인준이 필요했다. 또한 Alexander가 예루살렘에 오기 이전에 그는 이미 다른 교구의 주교 신분이었다.
