Jesus The good Samaritan parable

2.The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) 25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" 27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'[a]; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[b]" 28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

the message of jesus was crystal clear, religious rules are bs, and also that he was racist towards samaritans.

[Serpent257]

Well, I guess it's good thing the good man from Samaria wasn't a Christian.

A Bishop or Judge would probably have hoped that the poor man had money on him....so he could have bled him dry....

I think the most important thing people don't know is that in the time of Jesus Samaritans and Jews were enemies. They were not allowed to talk to each other let along help each other - they were in deep conflict. Jesus picked 2 enemies to Love each other and 2 highly religious leaders/teachers kept a distant. The relationship between the Jew and the inn keeper was also important - He told us to pay whoever work for you - and pay them extra if they do extra work. It's 1 of the 613 Jewish Law.

Amazing that 50% of people dislike the greatest parable of all...(likely to be a hipocrite, pro anti-Catholic christian, Satanist?).

@Serpent257 Hm, I look at it differently.  It is through this parable of the good Samaritan that Jesus teaches us what a truly Christian heart is (and should be): compassionate and merciful.

@kingbane2 Jesus' message wasn't that the religious rules were wrong, but that the practice of those laws were misguided by legalistic attitudes rather than a heart of charity, which places the interior good will for others above the mechanical, exterior following of orders. Jesus certainly wasn't racist. This parable is prefaced by The Greatest Commandment: love your neighbor as yourself. :) Who is our neighbor? Anyone along the way, regardless of religion, color, class, etc. God bless!

Thanks for this parable sweet Jesus.

[Kari936]

Thanks for the video. Love GS story. Actually, the Savior’s parable was not that the religious law was wrong but that their interpretation of it was wrong. The Law is clear…to love everyone. And we aren’t to learn that THEY were racist, but that WE are not to be racist and that we must love all and show compassion to all.

The men , were not Christian, they were of the house of Judah and the house of Levi. Christian’s are not a part of a nation but rather follow the teachings of Christ.
