1.1 KiB
By chance
This was not something that any person had planned.
a certain priest
This expression introduces a new person in the story, but does not identify him by name. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants)
when he saw him
"when the priest saw the injured man." A priest is a very religious person, so the audience would assume that he would help the injured man. Since he did not, this phrase could be stated as "but when he saw him" to call attention to this unexpected result. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
he passed by on the other side
It is implied that he did not help the man. AT: "he did not help the injured man but instead walked past him on the other side of the road" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
a Levite ... the other side
The Levite served in the temple. He would be expected to help his fellow Jewish man. Since he did not, it may are helpful to state that. AT: "a Levite ... the other side and did not help him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
