The Samaritans mentioned several times in the Gospels by Jesus were a mixed-race, part-Gentile and part-Jewish, who engaged in practices considered to be blasphemous by Jewish Pharisees. The references to them are nearly all favorable
'''Samaritans''' today are a people of mixed ethnicity who live in [[Israel]], who practice a religion having similarities and differences to the [[Jewish faith]]. They accept as their canon the [[Torah]] and the [[Book of Joshua]], as do [[Christian]]s, while rejecting other [[Jewish]] [[Scriptures]].

The Samaritans mentioned several times in the [[Gospels]] by [[Jesus]] were partly [[Gentile]], partly Jewish, and the references to them are all favorable except by {{bibleref|Matthew|10|5}}<ref>"These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: 'Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.'" ([[ESV]])</ref>. For example, one of the most famous references to Samaritans in the New Testament is in the [[Parable of the Good Samaritan]]. It is also said that Jesus first expressly revealed his divinity to a Samaritan woman at the well, despite how Samaritans were outcasts at the time:<ref>John 4:25-26 (NAS).</ref>
