# 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
|
|

# 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]])
