SOTN SIL Open Translation Notes:

Section 10:25–37: Jesus told a story to show us who our neighbors are

One day as Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he stopped to teach people. An expert in the Jewish law was there and asked him a question. The expert asked what he should do to obtain eternal life. He and Jesus discussed this question and agreed that a person must love God and love his neighbor. Then the expert asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus answered him with a story that was a parable.

In the story robbers attacked a man and left him bleeding on a road. Two Jewish religious leaders passed the man without helping him. Then a man from the province of Samaria came and helped the man. People from Samaria were called Samaritans. The Jews despised Samaritans, so Jesus’ story surprised the Jews.

The person who treated the injured man with love, as a neighbor should, was a Samaritan. The Jewish religious leaders did not show love to the man. Most Jews considered only their fellow Jews to be their neighbors, but by this parable Jesus taught that all human beings are neighbors. We must love every other human being.

Some other possible section headings are:

The parable about the good foreigner

Who is my neighbor?

The Good Samaritan

Luke is the only gospel writer who includes this parable.

Paragraph 10:30–35

Jesus told the story in this paragraph in order to teach people what the Law meant by the command to love our neighbors. Most scholars think that this story probably did not really happen. If you must distinguish in your language between events that actually happened and fictional stories, you can indicate that it is a fictional story.

10:34a

He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.

He went to him and bandaged his wounds after he had poured oil and wine on them as medicine.
So he went over to him, doctored his wounds with oil and wine, and wrapped them with cloth.
So he went over to the injured man and treated and bandaged his wounds.

He went to him: The Samaritan approached the wounded man and probably knelt down beside him while he treated him. This phrase shows the contrast between the way the priest and Levite acted and the way the Samaritan acted.

and bandaged his wounds: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as bandaged is literally “wrapped.” The man probably wrapped or tied strips of cloth around the man’s wounds/injuries.

pouring on oil and wine: In New Testament times, people used oil and wine as medicines. The oil and wine cleansed and soothed wounds.

In some cultures, oil and wine are not used to treat wounds. In other languages, these words are not known or the action of pouring oil and wine on wounds would cause confusion. If this is the case in your language, you can:

Make explicit the function of the oil and wine. For example:
He treated his wounds with olive oil and wine. (CEV)
State only the function of the oil and wine, but do not translate the actual words. For example:
cleaned…his wounds (GW)

You may also want to include a footnote that explains this action. For example:

The Samaritan cleaned/treated the wounds with olive oil and wine. In those days people used oil and wine as medicines.

oil: In this context oil probably refers to olive oil. This oil came from the fruit of olive trees. People used this oil for many purposes, including cooking, fuel for lamps, and as medicine.

Be careful not to use a word for oil that refers only to motor oil.

wine: The term wine describes an alcoholic drink. It is made from the juice of a fruit called grapes. When grape juice ferments, it becomes wine. Because wine contains alcohol, people also used it to clean and heal wounds.

In some areas, people may not be familiar with grapes or with wine. If that is true in your area, some other ways to translate wine are:

Use a general term for an alcoholic drink.
Use a specific term that can also be used to refer to alcoholic drinks in general. For example:
millet beer
palm wine
something like palm wine
Use a descriptive phrase. For example:
fermented fruit juice/water
grape juice
fermented grape juice

This word also occurs in 7:33a.

General Comment on 10:34a

The Samaritan probably poured the oil and wine directly on the man’s wounds before he bandaged the wounds. He did not first put the bandages on the man and then pour oil and wine on top of the bandages. Some ways to make the sequence of events clear are:

Keep the same order, but indicate the sequence of events in another way. For example:
bandaged his wounds after he poured wine and oil on them
Put the phrases in chronological order. For example:
poured oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them (GNT)

Translate this in the way that is most natural in your language.

10:34b

Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn,

Then he put the man on his own donkey and took/brought him to a small hotel/inn.
Then he placed the man on his own animal/mount and led him to a place/house where visitors could stay overnight,

he put him on his own animal: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as he put means “he set” or “he placed.” The Samaritan had to lift the injured man onto the animal he had been riding. The man was severely wounded and perhaps unconscious. The verb that you use here should be appropriate for a man in that condition. For example:

he lifted him onto his own beast (REB)

animal: The Greek word that the BSB translates as animal is a general term. It refers to an animal that can carry baggage or that a person can ride. In that area, it would have been a donkey or mule. In areas where donkeys are not known, you may use a more general term. For example:

animal (GNT)

beast (RSV)

mount (NJB)

brought him to an inn: In this context, the phrase brought him to an inn implies that the Samaritan walked to the inn, guiding the donkey and perhaps supporting the man. Use a natural term in your language to express this idea.

inn: The Greek word that the BSB translates as inn refers to a “guest house” or small “hotel.” It was a building where travelers could pay for a place to sleep and buy food to eat. It was not a place where people came to receive medical treatment.

10:34c

and took care of him.

There he cared for him.
where he took further care of him.

took care of him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as took care refers to giving physical help to someone, for example, by bringing him food. Since the Samaritan was already taking care of the injured man, in some languages it may be natural to indicate that. For example:

continued to take care of him
