Commentary

Commentary on Luke 10:34

Theological / Devotional

Wounds. Gr. traumata, from which come our English words, “trauma,” “traumatism,” etc.

Oil and wine. Common household remedies of ancient Palestine. Sometimes the two were mixed and used as a salve.

An inn. Gr. pandocheion, “a caravansary,” from pas, “all,” and dechomai, “to receive.” A pandocheion was rather large in contrast with the less pretentious kataluma (see on ch. 2:7). The inn to which the Samaritan bore the unfortunate wayfarer was probably in or near Jericho, whither he was traveling, and the first inhabited town to which he would come.
