Jesus told the parable of "The good Samaritan". The Samaritans were hated by the Jews. However when a Jew had been robbed and beaten the only person that would stop to help was a Samaritan. His own people passed him by and did not want to get involved. Jesus was telling us that we should help others regardless of their background, race, religion or any other differences. We are all one people and we should help each other. Just as God loves us all we should love each other. We may not love what others are doing but we are to love them as a person. Help those in need, pray for those that need prayer. Thus Jesus Himself did not do anything directly in the story of the Good Samaritan, although He certainly lived by the principles He taught.

There were probably other people apart from the lawyer listening at the time. It is not really clear from Luke chapter 10 who was present part from the lawyer.

What lesson will you get in the story of good samaritan?
The purpose if this story is to help Christians learn what it means to "love your neighbor" by giving an example of the quote in action. It tell a story of how all of us should act towards our neighbor, whether they are our friend or adversary and if anyone is in need of care and attention we give or do what we can to help. Jesus was trying to point out that even giving your entire life to God, is not important to him, it is kindness that he seeks for and that's what 'love your neighbor as you love yourself' is all about. The Good Samaritan was kind and honest. He did the right thing for the right reasons. He helped the homeless man not because he wanted a reward in Heaven but because the man simply needed help and not to mention that the Samaritan was not religious, he was simply a good man who chose to do the right thing and this story teaches us to do the same thing. I hope this helped xD
