LUKE 10:25-37

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

But he wanted to justify himself, so 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 half dead. 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, when he came to the place and 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, brought 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.”

Balthasar van Cortbemde

An art dealer and someone who copied other people’s work, this is thought to be his one and only original painting. It was such a great name I had to look it up. Thanks for posting.

[Hebrews 11:6]

That is quite a moniker for such a derivative soul—his parents didn’t pass on their imagination. At least he tried once.

[null and void]

It is, perhaps, worth noting that in that day Samaritans had the well earned reputation of being real bastards.

I imagine if the tale were told today, the part of the Samaritan would be played by a Taliban or MS-13 gang-banger.

The point being each of us has the capacity for great good or great evil.

If you can be anything, be kind.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I understand that, to the Samaritans, that feeling was mutual.

each of us has the capacity for great good or great evil

With the proviso that, in God's eyes and as we have discussed, "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

[xp38]

One of the most profound teachings of Jesus. Similar to love thine enemy and do good to him. The reverberations continue to this day.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Agreed. And befitting his teaching's profundity, He presented an illustration of it so vivid that, in America at least, it is part of the culture and language. That unique marriage of depth and drama testifies, yet again I think, to His divinity; no one but God could have achieved that.

Which begs the question: Was Jesus reporting an actual event?

[xp38]

The Chosen seems to think so. When I visited Israel there is a road called the old Roman road which goes from Jerusalem down down down to Jericho. For tourists the guides say this is where the parable took place. The thing that struck me was how desolate and wildernessy the place was. You couldn't see any sign of civilization at all. Except when looking down into a canyon one saw a blue dome which was St. George's Monastery. The surprise of seeing it in such a desolate place is breathtaking.

The old Roman road

St George's Monastery

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you. Cannot even begin to understand the mindset that yields such monks. Seems to me it violates God’s will as revealed in Scripture on several levels. But if it’s a desolate location you want, that appears to be it.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

I had a funny thought as I looked through these pictures: “Where is Marc Chagall? I haven’t seen his pictures for a while.”

Then I realized he was Jewish and likely didn’t do illustrations of the New Testament.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yep! I wasn’t sure initially; but when he didn’t show up during the first few NT threads, I looked into him and learned the sad news. You’ve seen your last Chagall here.
