The parable of the Good Samaritan is about a man who get's mugged and robbed on his way to the city. Someone, who is walking on the same road, see him and walks right by him. Then a priest comes along, but he walks by also. Then a Samaritan walks by and sees him. He binds the man's wounds, sets him on his horse, and takes him to the city. In the city, the Samaritan takes the man to an Inn and pays for the man's stay.

I wish I knew where it is found in The Bible, but I'm no help there. Sorry

Luke 10:25-37

The priest could not help the man because then he would be ritually unclean and could not enter the temple to do his job for several weeks until he completed a ritual cleansing involving many baths and prayers and sacrifices. It was too much trouble.

There were also others mentioned that passed and did not help, for reasons of less significance than the priest.

The Samaritan had much less to lose in offering help due to his low social standing.

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.

Why is the prodigal son an effective lesson?

The parable was told as a rebuke to the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus' time. Jesus came to call the nation of Israel to repent but the scribes and Pharisees thought Jesus should be talking with them the "spiritual leaders" not the common people. The father in the parable represents God and shows His desire for Israel to repent and turn to Him. The son represent the nation of Israel and the oldest son represents the scribe and Pharisees. People often use this parable to illustrate how God is waiting for people to repent and turn to Him. It is effective because it is an interesting story which people can associate with but this not the primary interpretation.
