The Parable Of The Good Samaritan

 

One moral story from the Bible is the parable of the Good Samaritan, found in the Gospel of Luke.

In this story, a man was robbed, beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite, both religious leaders, passed by the man but did not stop to help him. However, a Samaritan, a person who was despised by the Jews, stopped and went out of his way to help the injured man. The Samaritan took the man to an inn and paid for his care until he was well enough to leave.

The moral of the story is that true compassion and love for others transcend social and cultural barriers. Jesus used this parable to teach his followers to show mercy and compassion to all, regardless of their background or social status. This story encourages us to be kind and helpful to others, and to be willing to go out of our way to help those in need.
