Acts 20:28 - Waak over jezelf en over heel de kudde, waarover de Heilige Geest jullie als opzieners heeft aangesteld om de gemeente van Christus te hoeden en te voeden, (de gemeente) die Hij gekocht heeft met zijn eigen Bloed.
te hoeden en te voeden - letterlijk: ‘te herderen’.
de gemeente van Christus - dit is de lezing van de Oosterse Aramese Peshitta. De lezing van de Griekse NA28 en TR luidt: ‘de gemeente van GOD’. De lezing van de Griekse MHT luidt: ‘de gemeente van de Heer en GOD’. De lezing van de Westerse Peshitta luidt: ‘de gemeente van God’.

to herd and to feed - literally: 'to herd'.
the church of Christ - this is the reading of the Eastern Aramaic Peshitta. The reading of the Greek NA28 and TR reads: 'the congregation of GOD'. The reading of the Greek MHT reads: 'the congregation of the Lord and GOD'. The reading of the Western Peshitta reads: 'the church of God'.
