In '''Parable of the Good Samaritan''', Jesus tells a powerful story about a traveler who is assaulted by thieves and left for dead. Two people his listeners would hold in high esteem walk past the victim without helping, while a person his listeners would despise from [[Samaria]] saves the victim's live with [[charity]] that included helping the victim, bringing him to an inn to be cared for, and promising the inn-keeper that his expenses will be reimbursed.  This is an inspiring story for all, and illustrates the [[best of the public]].

This parable is in the [[Gospel of Luke]] ([[Luke 9-16 (Translated)#10:30|Luke 10:30-37]]), as many other beautiful accounts (such as the encounter on the [[road to Emmaus]]) are located in that same elegantly written [[the Gospels|Gospel]].  The authenticity of this parable is widely recognized, even by non-believers, and is reinforced by the heroic role played by the Samaritan, which no one but [[Jesus]] would have done in that community.
