LUKE 10:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.”
In reply Jesus said: a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead — the Jerusalem to Jericho road descends about 3,300 feet in seventeen miles through isolated wilderness terrain — notorious for bandits. The victim is stripped, beaten, and left half dead (hēmithanē) — robbed of everything and left at death's threshold.
