On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus….
He asked Jesus, «And who is my neighbor?»
In reply Jesus said: «A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes,beat him and went away, leaving him halfdead.A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite,whenhecametotheplaceand saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, bought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii 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.’
«Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?»
The expert in the law replied, «The one who had mercy on him.»
Jesus told him, «Go and do likewise.»
Luke 10:25, 29-37
The Samaritans weren’t exactly loved in Jesus’ day. The people inJudea considered them scum, lowlifes, undesirables. But Jesus cast a lowly Samaritan in the leading role of His story. Social class doesn’t matter to Jesus. Kindness does.
