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.  Unlike [[Shakespeare]]'s plays that were inspired by prior works, this parable is entirely unique to the [[New Testament]].
