Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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.
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”
