“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,”
Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant — the pastoral blessing (eulogeia) invokes God as the one who raised (anago) Jesus from the dead. Jesus is the great shepherd (poimen) of the flock; his blood established (the eternal covenant (diathēkē aiōnios). The resurrection authenticates Jesus' sacrifice.
