Concept:Jesus used the parable to correct the lawyer's narrow understanding of who a person's neighbor really is.
Explanation:The parable is recorded in Luke 10:25-37.
A lawyer asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life.
Jesus referred him to the Law of Moses.
The lawyer answered by quoting the command to love God and love one's neighbor.
Still wanting to justify himself, the lawyer asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
In reply, Jesus told the story of a Jewish traveler who was beaten by robbers and left half dead.
A priest passed by and did not help, and a Levite also avoided the man.
But a Samaritan, whom the Jews normally despised, had compassion on the wounded man and cared for him.
Jesus then asked which of the three proved to be a true neighbor.
By this parable, Jesus taught the lawyer that a neighbor is any person in need, regardless of race or religion.
He also demonstrated that genuine mercy and compassion are the actions that can lead a person into the kingdom of God.
Answer:A. To teach the lawyer who is neighbor is and to illustrate to him act that can make him enter the kingdom of God
