Luke 10:33

Σαμαρείτης, a Samaritan: will he a fortiori pass by? No, he does not, that the surprise and the point of the story. The unexpected happens. ὁδεύων, here only in N. T., making a journey, presumably longer than from Jerusalem to Jericho, fully equipped for a long journey (Hahn), and so in possession of means for help, if he have the will. ἐσπλαγχνίσθη, was touched with pity. That sacred feeling will keep him from passing by, though tempted by his own affairs to go on and avoid trouble and loss of time, as ships may pass by other ships in distress, so deserving ever after to have branded on them ΑΝΤΙΠΑΡΗΛΘΕΝ.
