Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 10:32

"And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side." — Luke 10:32 (ASV)

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him and passed by on the other side.

There are some whose looks are evidently esteemed by themselves to be so very precious, that, when they have given them, they give nothing more. He may have meant, "I will see into it."

There are a great many who are very diligent in their promises to see into a case, but we do not see much come of what they say. They also pass by on the other side. Neither the priest nor the Levite acted as a neighbor to the man who fell among thieves.
