NASB | Luke 1:2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, |

Subject: word of God or Word? |
Bible Note: Hi Ray, Of course, an interlinear translation has no more weight than a regular translation on this issue. As I see it, this is the Gospel (the message, the word of God, the Good News) of Luke who was "set[ting] forth in order a declaration of those things...they delievered... unto us, which were... eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word [of God, the gospel]." Incidentally, Ray, Luke wasn't an eyewitness. The "which" refers to the "they," not to the "us." Peace, Lionstrong |
