Luke 10:31

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way. Jericho, the second city of Judea, was a city of the priests and Levites, and thousands of them lived there.

And when he saw him - so it was not inadvertently that he acted.

He passed by on the other side - although the law expressly required the opposite treatment even of the beast not only of their brethren but of their enemy (; ; and compare ).
