Answer Details
The priest and the Levite ignored the injured traveller because they held their ceremonial laws in high regard. According to their beliefs, they were not allowed to touch a dead body or come in contact with blood, which could make them "unclean." So, even if they noticed the injured man, they might have been afraid of breaking these laws and becoming impure. They put their religious beliefs above helping a person in need.
