When someone asked Jesus what He meant by “love thy
neighbour”, He started to tell him this story.

A Jewish man was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho.

He was attacked by thieves on a lonely road. They beat
him and stole his money and clothes. They left him to die.
After a while a priest passed by. When he saw the injured
man he crossed to the other side of the road and walked
quickly away.
Sometime later another priest came along. He also saw
the injured man. He also crossed to the other side of the
road and walked quickly away.
Eventually a third person came along the road. This man
was a stranger from another country called Samaria. The
Jews had always treated the Samaritans as enemies. But
when the Samaritan saw the wounded man he felt sorry
for him and stopped to help.
He put bandages on his wounds and lifted the man onto
his donkey. He took him to an inn and looked after him
there.

The next day the Samaritan gave the innkeeper some

money. He asked him to look after the injured man.
When Jesus finished his story, he asked the person which
one of these men was the good neighbour? The man
replied that the one that had helped was the good
neighbour. Jesus said that all people should be friends
with each other.

loved them.

Once there was a shepherd who had about a

hundred sheep. Every day he would take his flock out to
graze. At the end of each day the shepherd would herd
the sheep into their warm shelter for the night, counting
them to make sure they were all safely home.
One evening, the shepherd arrived home feeling very
tired. The sky was very dark and stormy. The shepherd
counted his sheep but there were only ninety-nine. One of
his flock was missing. He turned round quickly and went
to find the lost sheep.
Darkness fell and wolves began to howl. By now it was
pouring with rain and a harsh wind was blowing. Holding
his lantern and staff, the shepherd scrambled over rocks
and up hills. He searched deep in quarries and over cliff
edges for his lost sheep. He was determined not to give
up and, as day broke, he eventually found the sheep.
The shepherd was very happy that he’d found the lost
sheep and he carried him home on his shoulders. When
he arrived home he called his friends and neighbours and
asked them to come to his house for a party to celebrate
him finding his lost sheep.
 At the end of the story Jesus said that there is joy in
Heaven when someone who has disobeyed God is sorry
for the bad things they have done. Jesus also told the
people that he was like the shepherd. He looks after
people as if they were his sheep. He will never run away
and leave them. He will lead them and protect them. He
is ready to die for them.
