In Jesus' parable, who helped the man who had been beaten and robbed?

• A. The Good Samaritan
• B. The innkeeper
• C. A temple priest
• D. A passerby traveler

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing who showed true neighborly love and mercy in Jesus’ story. The person who helped is the Good Samaritan—he stops to care for the wounded man, binds his wounds, places him on his own animal, takes him to an inn, and pays for his care, even offering to cover any additional costs. This demonstrates loving your neighbor by showing mercy to someone in need, regardless of social or ethnic differences.

The other figures aren’t the ones who first acted to help: a temple priest and a traveler pass by without aiding the injured man, and the innkeeper is the person who would receive payment to continue care, not the one who first stops to help.
