The Good Samaritan
Jesus taught us to show kindness and mercy to people who need help.
❤️ A Story About Kindness
One day, a man asked Jesus what he needed to do to live in a way that pleases God.
Jesus told him the story of a man who was hurt by robbers. Several people saw him, but one person stopped to help.
Jesus used this story to teach us that we should show kindness and mercy to people who need our help.
📖 Let’s Learn the Story
A man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho.
The road was dangerous, and the man was attacked by robbers.
The robbers took the man’s belongings and hurt him.
They left him lying beside the road. He needed someone to help him.
A priest came along the road. He saw the injured man.
But instead of stopping to help, he passed by on the other side.
Another man came to the same place. He also saw the injured man.
But he too passed by without helping.
Then a Samaritan came along the road.
When he saw the injured man, he felt compassion for him.
He stopped and went to help him.
The Samaritan cared for the man’s wounds.
He put him on his own animal and took him to an inn.
He continued to care for him and paid for his care.
Jesus asked which person had acted like a neighbor to the injured man.
The answer was the man who showed mercy.
Jesus told us: “Go and do likewise.”
