Portfolio 2: Good Samaritan Interpretation

With the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus criticizes the economical and power archery during the 1st century in Palestine. The parable of the answer to the lawyer’s question of who is his neighbor, gave Jesus a way to criticize how the ones you expect them to help you, don’t because you are a different class than them, and those whom you would think are your enemies actually are the ones that will help you out. The parable shows how Jesus saw of the power archery as a faulty system that just made distinctions among people, where it should not be done.
