Contextual Overview

25 And behold, a scribe stood up to test him, and he said, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26 Jesus said to him, What is written in the law? how do you read it? 27 He answered and said to him, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. 28 Jesus said to him, You said the truth; do this and you shall live. 29 But as he wanted to justify himself, he said to him, And who is my neighbor? 30 Jesus said to him, There was a man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and the bandits attacked him, and robbed him, and beat him, and left him with little life remaining in him, and they went away. 31 And it chanced a priest was going down that road; and he saw him and passed on. 32 And likewise a Levite came and arrived at that place, and saw him and passed on. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. 34 And he came to him and bound up his wounds, and poured on them wine and oil; and he put him on his own ass, and brought him to the inn, and took care of him.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

thinkest: Luke 7:42, Matthew 17:25, Matthew 21:28-31, Matthew 22:42

was: Luke 10:29

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 30:11 - gave him Mark 12:31 - Thou

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which now of these three,.... The priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan,

thinkest thou, was neighbour to him that fell among the thieves? the priest and Levite that passed by, and took no notice of him, and gave him no relief, neither by words nor actions; or the Samaritan, that did all the above kind and generous things to him?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Was neighbour - Showed the kindness of a neighbor, or evinced the proper feelings of a neighbor. The lawyer had asked him who was his neighbor? Jesus in this beautiful narrative showed him who and what a neighbor was, and he did this in a way that disarmed his prejudice, deeply affected him in regard to his own duty, and evinced the beauty of religion. Had he “at first” told him that a Samaritan might be a neighbor to a Jew and deserve his kindness, he would have been at once revolted at it; but when, by a beautiful and affecting narrative, he brought the “man himself” to see that it might be, he was constrained to admit it. Here we see the beauty of a parable and its use. It disarmed prejudice, fixed the attention, took the mind gently yet irresistibly, and prevented the possibility of cavil or objection. Compare, also, the address of Nathan to David, 2 Samuel 12:1-7.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 36. Which - was neighbour — Which fulfilled the duty which one neighbour owes to another?
