Then Jesus proceeded with the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Why do you think that the parable has the qualifier "good" in front of Samaritan? Could it be that most Jesus thought that Samaritans were bad people?
Why did the Jews think that? Could it be that the Samaritans were illegal aliens? Or even worse, foreigners living on land stolen from the Israelites?
Could it be that the Samaritans were brought into Israel by the Assyrians and other oppressors of the Israelites? Could it be that the Samaritans were living in land stolen from the children of Israel, speaking a different language, and worshipping a different god?
Could it be that the Samaritans were a fifth column who sided with the Jews' enemies every time the Jews tried to improve their nation's stance?
How can such wicked illegal aliens living on stolen land be your neighbor?
