Jesus then told a parable about 'the good Samaritan'.
Jesus spoke to Nicodemus about the importance for a man to be born again if he is to be saved and see the kingdom of God. On the other hand, Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman about the importance of drinking from the water of life.
One parable that Jesus told was about the Good Samaritan. The story was to get people thinking about their neighbors.
The evangelism ministry is following Jesus Christs last command on earth, that is to go and make disciples of people and baptize them.So they give the message through tracks and bibles.
In John 4:12 Jesus asks "Are you greater than our father Jacob..." Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman at the well. She was amazed that anyone would allow a Samaritan to drink from this well as they were not liked by other Jews. Jesus told the Samaritan woman he could give her a drink that she would never be thirsty again. This of course was in reference to the word of his preaching.
The parable of the 'good Samaritan' is found at : Luke 10:30-37
Jesus told the story; Luke transcribed it later
Jesus told the Parable of the Good Samaritan to explain the meaning of neighbor. In this parable, a man is helped by a Samaritan, who goes out of his way to assist someone in need regardless of their background or beliefs, showing that a neighbor is anyone who shows compassion and kindness to others.
AnswerThe gospels say that Joseph and Mary were Jews, not Samaritans.
Jacob's well in the Bible is significant in the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman because it is where Jesus meets the woman and reveals his identity as the Messiah. This encounter challenges social norms and demonstrates Jesus' message of inclusion and salvation for all people, regardless of their background or beliefs.
In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Samaritan served Jesus' purpose to illustrate the importance of showing compassion and helping others, regardless of perceived differences or prejudices. Samaritans were seen as outcasts in Jewish society, yet the Samaritan in the parable showed kindness and mercy, emphasizing the universal message of love and care for all.
