Luke 10:32 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Likewise a Levite. — The passage is memorable as the only mention of Levites in the Gospels. He is represented as at once better and worse than the priest — better in that he does not altogether turn aside, but “comes” and looks; worse in that his second thoughts are at variance with his first, and prevail against them. If he has more light, he also sins more against it. He, too, may have been coming, like the priest, from his week of service in the Temple.
