Parable of the Good Samaritan drawing by Bertram Poole

³³ “But a despised Samaritan^[f] came along, and when he saw him, he felt deep pity. ³⁴ Kneeling beside him the Samaritan soothed his wounds with medicine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his donkey and walked along beside him till they came to an inn, where he nursed him through the night.^{[g] 35} The next day he handed the innkeeper two twenty-dollar bills^[h] and told him to take care of the man. ‘If his bill runs higher than that,’ he said, ‘I’ll pay the difference the next time I am here.’(Luke 10) (Illustration inspired by various artists) I am developing this sketch further.

^{This illustration shows the bedraggled son leaving the pigs and dark world he had fallen into by returning to his father who receives him joyfully at the foot of The Cross where real life begins.}

“When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired men have food enough and to spare, and here I am, dying of hunger!  I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired man.”’
“So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long distance away, his father saw him coming, and was filled with loving pity and ran and embraced him and kissed him. (Luke 15) (Illustration inspired by various artists) I am developing this sketch further.

Parables of Jesus The Parable of the Rich Fool drawing Bertram Poole

He spoke a parable to them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly. He reasoned within himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I don't have room to store my crops?' He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."' "But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." (Luke 12)

Rich Fool Parable painting by Bertram Poole illustrates the rich man surrounded by his abundance while observing the workers who are building a bigger barn.  The sun sets causing the dark shadow of night to inch closer to him as the balances or scales behind get ready to "weigh" his soul!  I am developing this sketch further and will be able to do a larger artwork as well as supply prints.
