Text

Structure

The New King James Version organises this chapter as follows (with cross references to parallel sections in the other gospels):

Narrative of the Seventy

Main article: Seventy disciples

Theologian Heinrich Meyer calls this section the "Narrative of the Seventy" and links it to the earlier account of the sending out of advance messengers in Luke 9:52.[3]

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

The Parable of the Good Samaritan by Jan Wijnants (1670) shows the Good Samaritan tending the injured man.
Main article: Parable of the Good Samaritan

This parable is mentioned only in this chapter of the New Testament. Jesus told a story of a traveller (who may or may not have been a Jew [4]) who is beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. First a priest and then a Levite come by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan comes by. Samaritans and Jews generally despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured man. Jesus is described as telling the parable in response to a question regarding the identity of the "neighbour", who Leviticus Lev 19:18 says should be loved.

Portraying a Samaritan in a positive light would have come as a shock to Jesus's audience.[5] Some Christians, such as Augustine, have interpreted the parable allegorically, with the Samaritan representing Jesus Christ, who saves the sinful soul.[6] Others, however, discount this allegory as unrelated to the parable's original meaning[6] and see the parable as exemplifying the ethics of Jesus.[7]

The parable has inspired painting, sculpture, poetry, and film. The colloquial phrase "good Samaritan", meaning someone who helps a stranger, derives from this parable, and many hospitals and charitable organizations are named after the Good Samaritan.
