"Is any man sick among you?
Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man. And the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him." Epistle of St. James, 5:14-15.
Why should we listen to you instead of to St. James?

*** Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him...***
***The offices of "bishop, priest (presbyter) and deacon..." ***
Both of you are translation Presbuteros (elder) as priest. Why is that?
Is not the Greek word for priest "Hiereus"?
