The Parable of the Good Samaritan is one of the parables of Jesus appearing in
the Gospel of Luke[1]. (Also known as The Good Neighbour). The
majority view indicates this parable is told by Jesus in order to illustrate
that human kindness and fellow feeling must be available to all, and that
fulfilling the spirit of the Law is just as important as fulfilling the letter of
the Law, see also Letter and spirit of the law. Jesus puts the
definition of neighbor into an enlarged context, beyond what people
usually thought of as a neighbor.[2] See the minority view also.
