Commentary on Luke 10:30
Jesus begins His most famous parable in response to a lawyer's question 'Who is my neighbor?' The road from Jerusalem to Jericho descended 3,300 feet over 17 miles through desolate rocky terrain notorious for bandits, making this scenario immediately recognizable to His audience. The phrase 'fell among thieves' (Greek 'lēstais'—robbers/bandits) and 'half dead' establishes the man's complete helplessness and desperate need. This parable uniquely appears in Luke's Gospel, emphasizing his theme of God's compassion for the helpless and breaking down ethnic and religious barriers.
