Exegesis:

Samaritēs de tis hodeuōn ‘but a Samaritan who was travelling.’ Samaritēs is emphatic. For the Samaritans and the opinion held about them by the Jews see commentaries and IDB IV, 190-197.

hodeuō ‘to travel,’ ‘to make one’s way,’ without indication of direction or goal of the journey. That the Samaritan was not on his way home may be gathered from v. 35.

ēlthen kat’ auton ‘came upon him,’ unintentionally. For kata cf. on v. 32.

kai idōn esplagchnisthē ‘and when he saw (him) he was moved with pity.’ For splagchnizomai cf. on 7.13.

Translation:

Samaritan, see on 9.52b.

As he journeyed, or, ‘who was on a journey’ (Bahasa Indonesia RC, Balinese), ‘a man from afar (lit. on a far journey)’ (Toraja-Sa’dan, which has the advantage of suggesting that the Samaritan was a foreigner, which the priest and Levite were not).

Came to where he was, but not yet at the man’s side (see v. 34); hence, ‘approached that man,’ or with further specification, ‘came towards (or, passed) the place where he lay neglected, or, the place of the victim’ (Bahasa Indonesia, Balinese).

He had compassion, or, ‘he pitied (him),’ see on 7.13.
