The Good Samaritan Brings the Wounded Man to the Inn

The Good Samaritan leads his donkey along a rocky desert road, carrying the wounded traveler he has rescued from the roadside. The injured man lies across the animal under the care of the Samaritan, while a simple hillside dwelling ahead suggests the inn where he will be sheltered and tended. The scene illustrates the mercy described in Luke 10:33-34, where compassion becomes visible through costly action: binding wounds, providing transport, and ensuring continued care. In the parable, Jesus defines true neighborly love not by ethnicity, status, or religious appearance, but by merciful obedience. This artwork is suited for teaching on the Good Samaritan, Christian charity, compassion ministry, outreach, and lessons on loving one’s neighbor. by Jeff Preston
