LUKE 10:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side — the priest's passing by on the other side communicates deliberate avoidance: he saw (idōn) and changed direction. The reasons for his passing (fear of contamination by a possible corpse, concern about his own safety, uncertainty about the man's status) are not given — only the passing by.
