This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
34. ἐπιχέων ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον. The ordinary remedies of the day. Isa 1:6; Mar 6:13; Jam 5:14. See Excursus VII. The present participle with the aorist verb implies that he kept pouring the oil and wine on (not in. A.V[227]) the wounds while he bound them up. See Plin. H. N. XXIX. 9; xxxi. 7.
[227] A.V. Authorised Version.
ἐπιβιβάσας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τό ἴδιον κτῆνος. The word implies the labour of ‘lifting him up,’ and then the good Samaritan walked by his side. ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς πανδοχεῖον. The Attic form of the word is πανδοκεῖον. See on Luk 2:7. There the word is κατάλυμα, a mere khan or caravanserai. Perhaps this inn was at Bahurim. In this and the next verse a word or two suffices to shew the Samaritan’s sympathy, helpfulness, self-denial, generosity, and perseverance in kindliness.
