# The Good Samaritan

Luke 10:30–37

The lawyer wanted to trick Jesus. He asked, “Who is my neighbor?”

Jesus answered with a story: “A man traveled from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was robbed and beaten by bandits. As he lay on the road, a priest walked right by. So did a Levite. But a Samaritan had pity. He washed and bandaged the traveler’s wounds and carried him to a nearby inn. This Samaritan paid the innkeeper to care for the man.

“Which of these three were the wounded man’s neighbor?”

“The man who had pity.”

“Right,” said Jesus. “Go and do the same.”

Questions: Who didn’t help the wounded traveler? Who had pity on the traveler?
