Context of Luke 10:33
31And a certain priest happened to go down that way, and seeing him, passed on on the opposite side; 32and in like manner also a Levite, being at the spot, came and looked [at him] and passed on on the opposite side. But a certain Samaritan journeying came to him, and seeing [him], was moved with compassion, 34and came up [to him] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, took him to [the] inn and took care of him. 35And on the morrow [as he left], taking out two denarii he gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt expend more, I will render to thee on my coming back.

Commentaries on Luke 10:33
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 33Samaritan is mentioned merely to show that he was a person from whom a Jew had no right to expect any help or relief, because of the enmity which subsisted between the two nations.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 33A certain Samaritan - The Samaritans were the most inveterate foes of the Jews. They had no dealings with each other. See the notes at Matthew 10:5. It was this fact which rendered the conduct of this good man so striking, and which was thus set in strong contrast with the conduct of the priest and the Levite. “They” would not help their own afflicted, and wounded countryman. “He,” who could not be expected to aid a Jew, overcame all the usual hostility…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 25-37Verses 25-37 If we speak of eternal life, and the way to it, in a careless manner, we take the name of God in vain. No one will ever love God and his neighbour with any measure of pure, spiritual love, who is not made a partaker of converting grace. But the proud heart of man strives hard against these convictions. Christ gave an instance of a poor Jew in distress, relieved by a good Samaritan. This poor man fell among thieves, who left him about to die…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 33a Samaritan: This unexpected change in the story probably surprised the listeners. Jews and Samaritans hated each other (see 9:52–53; 17:16; John 4:4–42). After Assyria conquered the northern kingdom of Israel, Assyrian settlers married Israelites who remained in Samaria. Their descendants became known as Samaritans. Later, after the Judeans returned from Babylon, conflict grew between Jews and Samaritans (Ezra 4:1–24). The Samaritans built their own…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3333. Samaritan--one excommunicated by the Jews, a byword among them, synonymous with heretic and devil (Joh 8:48; see on Lu 17:18). had compassion--His best is mentioned first; for "He who gives outward things gives something external to himself, but he who imparts compassion and tears gives him something from his very self" [Gregory The Great, in Trench]. No doubt the priest and Levite had their excuses--It is not safe to be lingering here; besides, he's…Read the comment
