We first see the word 'elder' in the book of Acts (chapter eleven, verse thirty). "And they did this, sending Barnabas and Saul to the elders.." In this context, the world elder translates to the word 'presbyteros', which means a person of age, advanced in life, or a term or rank/office.

Another Answer:

Exodus 3:16New International Version (NIV)

16 "Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers-the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.
