The Good Samaritan is a famous [[New Testament]] [[parable]] appearing only in the [[Gospel of Luke]] ([[Luke 10|10]]:25-37). The parable is told by Jesus to illustrate that compassion should be for all people, and that fulfilling the spirit of [[the Law]] is just as important as fulfilling the letter of the Law. In the story, Jesus describes how a Samaritan, who at the time, was a despised foreigner in the eyes of the Jews, shows himself to be the neighbour by helping out a Jew who was in great need.
