The Good Samaritan on the Road

The Good Samaritan stands beside a wounded traveler left stripped and helpless along a dangerous road, while other figures gather near him and a donkey waits in the distance. The scene draws from Luke 10:30-37, where Jesus answers the question, “Who is my neighbor?” with a parable of costly mercy. A man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho is attacked by robbers; religious passersby fail to help, but a Samaritan stops, draws near, and provides care. The artwork emphasizes the contrast between formal religious identity and active obedience: true neighbor-love is shown not by status, but by compassionate action toward the suffering. Strong for sermon visuals, Bible study resources, charity ministry, benevolence campaigns, and teaching on mercy, discipleship, and loving one’s neighbor.
