The Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan is shown on the rugged road to Jericho, where an injured traveler lies stripped and wounded beside the path. A robed passerby turns away in the foreground, while another man kneels near the victim with a saddled donkey waiting behind him. The composition centers the moral contrast of Jesus’ parable: religious respectability can pass by suffering, but true neighborly love stops, stoops, and bears the cost of mercy.

Drawn from Luke 10:30-37, the scene illustrates Christ’s answer to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” The Samaritan’s compassion crosses social and ethnic boundaries, making mercy the visible evidence of obedience to God. This artwork is suited for sermons, Bible studies, children’s lessons, compassion ministry, outreach materials, and teaching on loving one’s neighbor.
