Footnotes

109 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context between the previous characters (considered by society to be examples of piety and religious duty) and a hated Samaritan.
110 This is at the beginning of the clause, in emphatic position in the Greek text.
111 The participle ὁδεύων (hodeuōn) has been translated as an adjectival participle (cf. , , ); it could also be taken temporally (“while he was traveling,” cf. , ).
112 Grk “he”; the referent (the injured man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
113 “Him” is not in the Greek text but is implied. The verb means “to feel compassion for,” and the object of the compassion is understood. Here is what made the Samaritan different: He felt compassion for him. In the story, compassion becomes the concrete expression of love. The next verse details explicitly six acts of compassion.
114 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Instead, because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
115 The words “to him” are not in the Greek text but are implied. The participle προσελθών (proselthōn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
116 The ancient practice of pouring oil was designed to comfort and clean the wounds (Isa 1:6).
117 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of this Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
118 It is not clear whether the causative nuance of the verb included actual assistance or not (“helped him on” versus “had him get on”; see L&N 15.98), but in light of the severity of the man’s condition as described in the preceding verses, some degree of assistance was almost certainly needed.
119 His own animal refers to a riding animal, presumably a donkey, but not specified.
