No, Luke didnt use the words first born.
So, how do you translate the word:
πρωτοτοκον
use in Koine Greek?
Google Translate uses the word First-born.

And the Latin translation is: Primo Genitus.
I would think that Luke would have far more likely intended the term according to the understanding of the 1st Century AD as opposed to the 21st Century. That was my only point.
