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, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 1:2 exactly as they were handed down to us by those [with personal experience] who from the beginning [of Christ's ministry] were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word [that is, of the teaching concerning salvation through faith in Christ], |
Subject: word of God or Word? |
Bible Note: Hi Lionstrong, Luke may not have been included in the eyewitnesses that had previously written narratives of the past events, but he certainly was an eyewitness as well for he had followed things right from the very first as verse three says. But I am saying that eyewitnesses see things, persons, and places, and events. Doctrines, and gospels, and words are heard with the ears. They were ministers of and served a risen Savior and preached the word. Luke was an eyewitness of the risen Savior and an apostle and verse four says that he wanted them to know the certainty of the "words" in which they were instructed. These things are important to see. I hope that we can see that Jesus was the Word with certainty. From the heart, Ray |
