Give an example of a parable told by Jesus where he showed that prejudice was wrong?
After years of anger between the Jews and the Samaritans, there was a real prejudice between these two groups in Jesus' day(John4:9), so Jesus related a parable.
A man who had been attacked by robbers during his journey from Jerusalem to Jericho, was left wounded on the road. Two Jewish religious leaders did NOT stop to help their brother, but crossed to the other side of the road to avoid him.
A Samaritan, however, stopped and bandaged the man's wounds. Then he arranged for the man's care so that he could recover from his injuries. That Samaritan proved himself a real neighbor. (Luke 10:29-37)
Jesus' parable helped his listeners to realize that their prejudice blinded them to the good qualities in others.
