Affected Teaching
This Samaritan did not just drop the man of at the Inn and then go on his way but stayed with him all night to care for him. Then when the next day came, he probably saw that the man was stable and on the mend so he went to the innkeeper and told him to take care of the man and if he incurs any more expenses beyond the two denarii that the Samaritan gave him, then on his return trip he would reimburse the man for whatever he spent out of pocket. This Samaritan showed not only compassion but trust. He was generous to the man who was recovering from his wounds and he was trusting that the innkeeper would not just pocket the money. In those times, innkeepers were notorious for being dishonest and Rome dealt heavily with those people if they were caught. This story gives Christians a good understanding to show kindness to people whenever they have the opportunity, even if it costs them something.

The phrase “when he departed” is important because it sets up the scenario of faith that the Good Samaritan had. He had to depart first before he could return and check up on the injured man. When handing the two denarii to the innkeeper, he addressed him personally by using the phrase “unto him” which is in the dative case showing that the Samaritan dealt specifically with the innkeeper.
