Chapter 10

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 fell into the hands of 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.

JESUS TELLS
OF THE GOOD
SAMARITAN

[devane617]

I enjoy these posts. Thanks

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for replying.

[Red Badger]

Point of history note:

SAMARITANS were disliked by Jews and seen as a mongrel people during Jesus time.

They were the descendants of Gentile people Nebuchadnezzar had shipped in to live in the area after Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians, which was a common practice of that era.

Even though SAMARITANS were not ‘Jews’ in the traditional sense, they had somehow adopted the Jewish religion for themselves.

I think Jesus used this parable to show that the SAMARITANS were actually more ‘Jewish’ than the Jews of that time were, and especially the Pharisees and Sadducees who considered themselves to be the epitome and arbiters of what it means to be ‘Jewish’...........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I think Jesus used this parable to show that the SAMARITANS were actually more ‘Jewish’ than the Jews of that time were

That's quite a reach, Red.

[Red Badger]

The pretext of the parable, an ‘expert’ in The Law had asked ‘Who is my neighbor?’, then Jesus began the parable.

The Samaritan in the parable was following the precepts of the Jewish religion, by ministering to the wounded man, whereas the Priest (Sadducee) and the Levite (Pharisee) did not.

36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Love thy neighbor as thyself......................

[Hebrews 11:6]

True. Just saying your extrapolation to the general needs support.

[etabeta]

Many, many great paintings. #33 by Watts, well known British artist who achieved fame during his lifetime. A workaholic who painted from dawn to dusk, a pioneer of the Symbolism movement, he became famous for his portraits of the great Masters. His religious works were calling for greater kindness in the world. He was known as England’s Michelangelo for the twisting, muscular figures greatly influenced by the Italian artist.

[etabeta]

Another version by Watts.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thank you, Alba for that interesting introduction to Mr. Watts. It's an eye-opener. I shall be watching for him henceforth.

he became famous for his portraits of the great Masters

So, he painted portraits of his contemporaries?

[etabeta]

Watts was a 19th c. artist, he painted some of the masters of the past but mainly important people of his time. Now, I might be wrong about painting portraits of the old masters, I seem to recall reading it in a book. So if I am not accurate, I apologize.

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi, Mary-Lou! Coincident with your emphasis today, I’m starting the Last Supper myself—four threads, I expect.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks. I always wish they'd have stuck to Scripture, like Tissot, Doré and Hole did. Then, we'd have had more!

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a happy day to all.

Another valuable ‘teaching parable’ from the Master.

If anyone has an interest: in this video, three friends hike this same road: Jerusalem to Jericho- very rugged country indeed.

Thank You Dan !

[InkStone]

Thank you etabeta; we can always count on you!

[Hebrews 11:6]

In S3E2 of The Chosen, Jesus assigns Matthew and Simon the Zealot to journey "all the way down to Jericho. I know it's near Samaria, but you'll be fine."

[etabeta]

Beautiful, rugged country. Thank you, InkStone.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Astonishing video, Leon! A real eye-opener for me—had no idea.

Many thanks.
