A bishop is an ordained clergy member who is entrusted with a position of authority and oversight in a religious institution.

In traditional Christianity, bishops claim apostolic succession, a direct historical lineage dating back to the original Twelve Apostles or Saint Paul.

The bishops are by doctrine understood as those who possess the full priesthood given by Jesus Christ, and therefore may ordain other clergy, including other bishops. A person ordained as a deacon, priest, and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the (ministerial) priesthood, given responsibility by Christ to govern, teach, and sanctify the Body of Christ. Priests, deacons and lay ministers co-operate and assist their bishops in pastoral ministry.

Some Pentecostal and other protestant churches have bishops who oversee congregations, though they do not claim apostolic succession.

The English term bishop derives from the Greek word ἐπίσκοπος epískopos, meaning overseer in Greek, the early language of the Christian Church. However, the term epískopos did not originate in Christianity. In Greek literature, the term had been used for several centuries before the advent of Christianity. It later transformed into the Latin episcopus, Old English biscop, Middle English bisshop and lastly bishop.

In the early Christian era the term was not always clearly distinguished from presbýteros, literally elder or senior, origin of the modern English word priest, but is used in the sense of the order or office of bishop, distinct from that of presbyter, in the writings attributed to Ignatius of Antioch.

English language is the most universal language in history,
way more than the Latin of Julius Caesar.
It's the most punderful language
because its vocabulary has a certain critical mass
that makes a lingo good for punning.
