Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:1-4 Luke begins his Gospel with a formal preface in the style of the best Greek writers of his day. These four verses are some of the finest literary Greek in the New Testament.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οἱ & αὐτόπται & γενόμενοι

the_‹ones› & eyewitnesses & /having/_become

The term eyewitnesses describes people who saw something happen personally, “with their own eyes.” The term describes such people by reference to something associated with sight, the eye. Alternate translation: “who … saw these things personally”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὑπηρέται & τοῦ λόγου

attendants & ˱of˲_the word

Here, word describes the things that the people who brought the message conveyed by using words. Alternate translation: “servants of the message”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὑπηρέται & τοῦ λόγου

attendants & ˱of˲_the word

The people who brought this message were actually serving God by doing that. But Luke describes them as servants of the word, as if they were serving the message from God. Alternate translation: “served God by telling people his message”
