Luke 10:31

Luke 22:41

22:41 He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed,

[1:52]  ¹ tn Or “rulers.”

[1:52]  ² tn Or “those of humble position”

[10:31]  ³ sn The phrase by chance adds an initial note of hope and fortune to the expectation in the story.

[10:31]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context between the priest’s expected action (helping the victim) and what he really did.

[10:31]  ⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the injured man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:31]  ⁶ sn It is not said why the priest passed by and refused to help. It is not relevant to the point of the parable that no help was given in the emergency situation.

[10:31]  ⁷ sn The text suggests that the priest went out of his way (on the other side) not to get too close to the scene.
