Barnes' Notes
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear - The prince of the pastors - the Lord Jesus Christ. "Peter, in the passage above, ranks himself with the elders; here he ranks Christ himself with the pastors" - Benson. See the notes at I Peter 2:25. Compare Hebrews 13:20.
Ye shall receive a crown of glory - A glorious crown or diadem. Compare the notes at II Timothy 4:8.
That fadeth not away - This is essentially the same word, though somewhat different in form, which occurs in I Peter 1:4. See the notes at that verse. The word occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. Compare the notes at I Corinthians 9:25.
