Footnotes
- 102 The phrase by chance adds an initial note of hope and fortune to the expectation in the story.
- 103 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.
- 104 Grk “him”; the referent (the injured man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 105 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.
- 106 The text suggests that the priest went out of his way (on the other side) not to get too close to the scene.
- 107 Here κατά (kata) has been translated “up to”; it could also be translated “upon.”
- 108 The clause containing the aorist active participle ἐλθών (elthōn) suggests that the Levite came up to the place, took a look, and then moved on.
