Luke 10:31-32 (NLT)
31 [Jesus continued] “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant [1] walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.”
[1]
Greek, A Levite.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Not specified in story – I made it mid morning.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Harsh, strong desert lighting. The light colours used (especially in the background) illustrates the glare of bright desert sunshine. Short shadows as sun is overhead.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
The Hebrew victim lying on the road, with a priest walking by in the distance, & a temple assistant (Levite) peering at the man on the road, not willing to touch him.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
There are two versions of this scene:
01) (This page) Luke 10 – Parable of the good Samaritan SET01 – Scene 02 – Passers-by.
The original drawing, which has rather grey/brown tones.
02) (Next page) Luke 10 – Parable of the good Samaritan SET02 – Scene 02 – Passers-by.
The “new” (2016) drawing, which has brighter reds, oranges & yellow tones.
As you may notice from the titles above, there are two complete sets of the 5 scenes that comprise the story of the good Samaritan. The principle difference between them is colour: SET 01 is the original series of drawings, which have rather grey/brown tones, whilst SET 02 has brighter reds, oranges & yellows throughout the series of cartoons.
