NETBible

NET Notes

¹sn The phrase by chance adds an initial note of hope and fortune to the expectation in the story.

²tn 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.

³tn Grk “him”; the referent (the injured man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴sn 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.

⁵sn The text suggests that the priest went out of his way (on the other side) not to get too close to the scene.
