===Setting===
===Interpretations=== At the conclusion of the story, Jesus asks the lawyer, of the three passers-by, who was the stricken man's neighbour? The lawyer responds, "The one who helped him." Jesus responds with "Go and do the same." So a "neighbour" is anyone who needs your love and help. Jesus has turned the attention away from the question "To whom do I owe an obligation?" and to the question, "To whom do I feel compassion?" Jesus is pointing out the nature, or subject, of love, not the object of it. This parable is one of the most famous from the New Testament and its influence is such that to be called a Samaritan in Western culture today is to be described as a generous person who is ready to provide aid to people in distress without hesitation. In many English-speaking countries, a Good Samaritan law exists to protect from liability those who choose to aid people who are seriously ill or injured. It is important to note that Samaritans were despised by the story's target audience, the Jews. The Samaritans were also largely taught by their interpretation of history to hate Jews. Thus the parable, as told originally, had a significant theme of non-discrimination and interracial harmony. While this parable is known for its social implications, it also presents a very important spiritual message. During his ministry Jesus was often accused of associating with the publicans and sinners by the Scribes and Pharisees ([[FileLuke 5:CrappyWhore30]]).jpgIn the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus reaffirms his reasons for doing so, which are also reported in [[Luke 5]]MAKE SOAP FROM KIKES!!!!!! GLORY TO THE HOLOCAUST!! VANDALISMFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:31,32. The stricken figure in the parable represents all those who are spiritually sick, such as the gentiles and the sinners.
===Text - [[Luke 10]]:25-37===
