Luke 10:25-37
The Good Samaritan - Story Summary:
Jesus Christ's parable of the Good Samaritan was prompted by a question from a lawyer: And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (Luke 10:25, ESV)
Jesus asked him what was written in the law, and the man responded: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27, ESV)
Pressing further, the lawyer asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"
In parable form, Jesus told of a man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. Robbers attacked him, took his possessions and clothes, beat him, and left him half dead.
A priest came down the road, saw the injured man, and passed by him on the other side. A Levite passing by did the same.
A Samaritan, a race hated by the Jews, saw the hurt man and had compassion on him. He poured oil and wine on his wounds, bound them up, then put the man on his donkey. The Samaritan took him to an inn and cared for him.
The next morning, the Samaritan gave two denarii to the innkeeper for the man's care and promised to repay him on his way back for any other expenses.
Jesus asked the lawyer which of the three men had been a neighbor. The lawyer answered that the Samaritan was the one who showed mercy and so was a neighbor.
Then Jesus told him, "You go and do likewise." (Luke 10:37, ESV)
=============================================================
Samaritans are still out there btw I mean the people, they still exist in the Middle East though probably not for long the way ISIS is going. Historically Samaritan is the the name given to the new and mixed inhabitants whom Esarhaddon (B.C. 677), the king of Assyria, and devotee of Bal, brought from Babylon and other places and settled in the cities of Samaria, displacing the original inhabitants ( 2 Kings 17:24 ; Compare Ezra 4:2 Ezra 4:9 Ezra 4:10 )
