EXT. PAVEMENT PATHWAY - NOON

There was once a man going down from Jerusalem to Jericho.

While he was traveling, two robbers came by and planned to
rob him.

ROBBER 1
Look, that man seems loaded! An opportunity to rob someone!

ROBBER 2
But before we do that, let’s beat him up so he won’t be able
to fight back.

SFX: GROANING, WHACKING

When robbers attacked, they stripped, beat, and left him

half dead. He was left there bleeding from head to toe, with
bruises all around him. It so happened that a Jewish priest
came that way.
 JEWISH MAN
(barely audible)
Please…Help me...

PRIEST
(annoyed)
Oh, good Lord…

SFX: FOOTSTEPS

He ignored the man and walked by on the other side. While

walking, he muttered under his breath,

PRIEST (O.S.)
(in mind)
There’s no way I’m going to touch that man! I’m going to get
all dirty!

In the same way, a Levite also came there, went over, and
looked at the man.

JEWISH MAN
(barely audible)
Good sir, please… Help…!

The man held unto his robe while pleading.

LEVITE
(enraged)
Get off me! You’re going to ruin my clothes!

SFX: THUD, THEN FOOTSTEPS

The Levite ignored the bruised man’s pleading and went on
his way. But a Samaritan who was traveling on that road came
across the man. And when he saw him, his heart was filled
with pity.

GOOD SAMARITAN
(worried)
Oh my…

JEWISH MAN
(barely audible)
Help…

GOOD SAMARITAN
I will. I can’t just leave you here bleeding to death. Here,
let me treat you.

He went over to the man, poured oil and wine on his wounds,
and bandaged them. Then he put him on his animal and took
him to an inn.

INNKEEPER
Hello good sir, What can I do for you?

GOOD SAMARITAN
(in a hurry)
This man has bruises all over his body and is bleeding so
much. He needs to rest.
 INNKEEPER
(shocked)
Oh my! I will provide food and water immediately!

GOOD SAMARITAN
(delighted)
Thank you!

The next day he gave the innkeeper two silver coins.

GOOD SAMARITAN
Please do me a favor and take care of him.

INN KEEPER
Alright, I will.

GOOD SAMARITAN
When I come back, I will pay you whatever else you spend on
him.
