- What reasons would the priest and the Levite have for “ passing by on the other side of the road?”
- Describe the care the Samaritan showed in detail. What stands out to you?
- Make a case for Jesus on the cross being the original Good Samaritan. Compare similarities and differences. Are you convinced?
