The Good Samaritan (literary work)

"The Good Samaritan" is a parable from the Bible in which a man is beaten, robbed, and left injured on the roadside. Several passersby, including a priest and a Levite, ignore him, but a Samaritan—a member of a group often viewed negatively—stops, cares for his wounds, and ensures his recovery. The story illustrates the importance of compassion and acting kindly toward others regardless of societal divisions or differences. It emphasizes that true neighborliness involves active kindness and selfless aid, transcending prejudice and social barriers.
