{{summary | text=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.}}
