LUKE 10:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.”
The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. Look after him, he said, and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense — the two denarii (two days' wages) given to the innkeeper and the promise of more on return communicate ongoing commitment. The Samaritan does not abandon the injured man at the inn but takes financial responsibility for his ongoing care. When I return: the Samaritan will come back — the commitment is not a one-time payment but an ongoing relationship.
