This work studies the word order of the Gospel of Luke and some of
its prominent messages with consideration of systemic functional
linguistic theories. The first part of the work focuses on the
relative positions of four constituents (subject, predicate,
complement and circumstantial adjunct) of different types of Lukan
clauses (independent, dependent, infinitival, participial and
embedded clause). The result gives some unmarked (typical or
common) word order patterns and some marked word order patterns of
all Lukan clauses. The second part traces the foregrounded messages
of the Gospel based on their related marked word order patterns
incorporated with functional linguistic phenomena. The result
highlights the messages of Jesus' disciples and his parents'
failure in understanding him, Pilate's crime of handing over Jesus
and Jesus' predictions of his future sufferings and Peter's future
failure. JSNTS and Studies in New Testament Greek series
