The Good Samaritan
Jesus tells a parable in response to a law expert’s question about inheriting eternal life and defining one’s neighbor. A man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho is attacked, stripped, beaten, and left half-dead. A priest and a Levite see him but pass by. A Samaritan shows compassion, treats his wounds, transports him to an inn, cares for him, and pays the innkeeper for continued care. Jesus directs the hearer to imitate this mercy.
