The Actual Greek word used is "pias" or "paida" which mean; "servant, child, son, manservant."
The exact same word "pias" is attributed to Jacob(Israel) in Luke 1:54 and translated as "servant":
"He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;." It is also applied to King David in Luke 1:69, and once again, it is translated as "servant": "....the house of his servant David;" (also see Acts 4:25).
Jesus(pbuh) is God's servant
1. Matthew 12:18: "Behold my servant, whom I have chosen."
2. Acts 3:13(RSV): "The God of Abraham, and of Isaac,.... hath glorified his servant Jesus."
3. Acts 4:27(RSV): "For of a truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hast anointed...."
