THE GOOD SAMARITAN

By Sandy Chen

The Good Samaritan is a

story Jesus told to a

lawyer. One day the

lawyer came up to Jesus

and asked “How do you

receive eternal life?”

Jesus responded with

“what does the law say?”

The lawyer then

responded “Love your

neighbour as yourself. But

who is my neighbour?”

Jesus then told him a

story…

WHAT IS THE GOOD SAMARITAN?

THE GOOD SAMARITAN STORY

One day a man was travelling

from Jerusalem to Jericho

when he was attacked by

robbers. Not long after, a

priest came by and just

walked past. After a while a

Levite also passed by on the

other side of the road,

pretending to not see the

man. Finally a Samaritan

came and helped he man

onto his donkey. He brought

the man to an inn, and told

the innkeeper to look after

the man.

The meaning of the

Good Samaritan story

is telling us to treat

people the way we

want to be treated.

Also, if you see

someone in need, you

should go and help

them even if you don’t

get a reward.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE GOOD SAMARITAN

The Good Samarian

has taught me about

treating people nicely,

and loving your

neighbor as yourself. I

think, that means you

should treat others

well with out wanting

a reward. The good

Samaritan story, is

very meaningful and

should be known all

around the world.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNT FROM THE GOOD SAMARITAN?

In the playground, if you see

someone crying or upset, you

can go and comfort them.

If one of the younger students

has no friends, you can play with

them or help them make friends.

If one of your classmates are

having trouble with their work,

you can go and help them, and

explain the activity.

WHAT ARE GOOD SAMARITAN ACTS WE CAN

DO AT SCHOOL?

I think that doing Good

Samaritan acts benefits

the world, because then

there won’t be as many

wars and everyone will

try to get along with

each other.
