Luke 10:31

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And {G1161} by {G2596} chance {G4795} there came down {G2597} a certain {G5100} priest {G2409} that {G1722}{G1565} way {G3598}: and {G2532} when he saw {G1492} him {G846}, he passed by on the other side {G492}.

By coincidence, a cohen was going down on that road; but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Now by chance a priest was going down the same road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
