"Pastor" is a Latin word, so it would indeed be surprising to find it in a greek Bible.

The word "pastor" means "shepherd" in Latin. The Greek words poimēn and poimaino (found in The Bible 29 times) were translated as "pastor" in the Vulgate, and as "shepherd" in the KJV. The term is repeatedly applied to Jesus (e.g.: "the Good Shepherd"). In at least five cases, (most notably John 21:16 and Acts 20:17) the word specifically refers to church workers. From verses such as these comes the modern sense of "pastor" as a church leader.
