It was not a priest who helped the wounded man, but a Samaritan.
----------------------------------
Another answer to add more detail:
According to The Bible, this was an illustration by Jesus, as he answered the question raised by a person 'versed in the law' of Moses.
The man, trying to appear righteous, wanted to know what he had to do to inherit everlasting life. Luke 10:25-29
By the time Jesus arrived as Messiah, worship of God had become nothing but empty man made laws(Mark 7:13, Matthew 15:7-9). The PRIESTS and LEVITES, the Jewish leaders of the day, showed a complete lack of concern for the poor and needy, and had failed to teach the people about God and the meaning behind the Mosaic law code. (Luke 16:14; 20:47; Matthew 15:5, 6)
Jesus gave this illustration to remind people of this meaning, and what 'love of neighbor' meant, so in this illustration, a priest and a Levite, on seeing an injured Jewish man, walked past him on the opposite side of the road rather than turn aside to help him.-Luke 10:30-37.
It was the Samaritan, a culture hated by the Jews, who stopped and
"bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine upon them. Then he mounted him upon his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two de‧nar′i‧i, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, 'Take care of him, and whatever you spend besides this, I will repay you when I come back here.'
(a denarii was a type of money equaling a day's wage).
So, the Samaritan showed true brotherly love.
