The Parable of the Good Samaritan
In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus is approached by a doctor of the Law, a scholar.
And, ultimately, with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus is providing an exegetical argument of how to understand Leviticus 19:18 on who is our neighbor.
There was debate among scholars as far as how to interpret Leviticus 19:18 and Jesus and the scholar effectively both ask one another to interpret for one another, "Who is my neighbor" in Leviticus. Is it just my kinsfolk or is it all people.
Jesus, in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, answers that it is the latter.

Ah, Catholic Productions, you ended that one too quick (though what was there was informative). I understand this parable was a rare instance where early Church interpretation has given way to more modern interpretation. If what I heard was correct, while the broader point about neighbor is retained, the earlier interpretation included an allegory of the Samaritan for Christ (fulfilling the law and the prophets, paying the bill, and then promising to return and pay more if owed).
wonderful sir, God bless you. AMEN
The teachings of our Holy Lord puts every scholars to deep thinking...Jesus the beginning ...the end ....the everylasting and the everliving God...
great...
Something topical from the time of Jesus in context, would be the fact that the judeans did not acknowledge the Samaritans as sons of their own people whom the Torah would require them to love as themselves. It could be speculated strongly that Jesus did not hold that view.
Where is the full version
Give us the rest Brant !
The point is how can we attain eternal life? Jesus gives that eternal life to a Samaritan over the Priest and Levite because of the love and compassion that the Samaritan showed to an individual that reviled him. Jesus changes and perfects love according to the Spirit, not the law which would have rendered the Priest and the Levite unclean according to the Law of Moses.
Jesus actually never answered the lawyer's question.. The parable indicated that the Samaritan is the good neighbor. So Jesus effectively says : "Don't worry about who is your neighbor...YOU must BE the good neighbor...."
