    In the parable of the Good Samaritan, a man was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and was attacked by robbers and was lying half dead at the side of the road. A priest and a temple assistant each passed the man, but did not help. Finally, a Samaritan stopped to offer his assistance, and took the man to an inn, and took care of him. According to the results from Darley and Batson, why might the priest and temple assistant each pass the man without helping him?
