In terms of the letter of the law...they were, but ultimately they were’nt just like the “legal expert” who tried justifying himself. Christ used the example of the Levite and Priest because he was trying to breach the “expert”’s conscience.

That was my point - in fact, according to Torah, the priest and the rabbi were *not* following the letter. There is nothing that says a Jew cannot render aid to a gentile - and there is plenty that says he should. Even modern Jews will tell you that is true.

But more or less, beyond that point, we agree : )

We don’t know from the parable if the injured one was a gentile or not....
