The Good Samaritan Parable painting by Bertram Poole

 

Parables of Jesus Parable of the Good Samaritan painting by Bertram Poole 

The artwork shows the Robbers heading for the pass as the Priest and Levite pass by and ignore injured man.  However the Samaritan helps the wounded traveler. 

 
Luke 10:30+ Amplified Bible:
30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, who stripped him of his clothes [and belongings], beat him, and went their way [unconcerned], leaving him half dead. 

31 Now by coincidence a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite also came down to the place and saw him, and passed by on the other side [of the road]. 

33 But a Samaritan (foreigner), who was traveling, came upon him; and when he saw him, he was deeply moved with compassion [for him], 34 and went to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them [to sooth and disinfect the injuries]; and he put him on his own pack-animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him."
