 {Even as} (kath(9373)). This particle was condemned by the
Atticists though occurring occasionally from Aristotle on. It is
in the papyri. Luke asserts that the previous narratives had
their sound basis. {Delivered unto us} (pared(9373)an h(886d)in).
Second aorist active indicative of paradid(936d)i. Luke received
this tradition along with those who are mentioned above (the
many). That is he was not one of the "eyewitnesses." He was a
secondary, not a primary, witness of the events. Tradition has
come to have a meaning of unreliability with us, but that is not
the idea here. Luke means to say that the handing down was
dependable, not mere wives' fables. Those who drew up the
narratives had as sources of knowledge those who handed down the
data. Here we have both written and oral sources. Luke had access
to both kinds. {Which from the beginning were eyewitnesses and
ministers of the word} (hoi ap' arch(8873) autoptai kai hup(8872)etai
genomenoi tou logou). "Who" is better than "which" for the
article here. The word for {eyewitnesses} (autoptai) is an old
Greek word and appears in the papyri also. It means seeing with
one's own eyes. It occurs here only in the N.T. We have the very
word in the medical term _autopsy_. Greek medical writers often
had the word. It is a different word from epoptai (eyewitness)
in  2Pe 1:16 , a word used of those who beheld heavenly
mysteries. The word for "ministers" (hup(8872)etai), under rowers
or servants we have had already in  Mt 5:25  26:58  Mr 14:54,65 ,
which see. We shall see it again in  Lu 4:20  of the attendant in
the synagogue. In the sense of a preacher of the gospel as here,
it occurs also in  Ac 26:16 . Here "the word" means the gospel
message, as in  Ac 6:4  8:4 , etc. {From the beginning}
apparently refers to the beginning of the ministry of Jesus as
was true of the apostles ( Ac 1:22 ) and of the early apostolic
preaching ( Ac 10:37-43 ). The Gospel of Mark follows this plan.
The Gospel of Luke goes behind this in chapters 1 and 2 as does
Matthew in chapters 1 and 2. But Luke is not here referring to
himself. The matters about the childhood of Jesus Christ would
not form part of the traditional preaching for obvious reasons.
