📖 This Week's Story

One day, a man was traveling on a dangerous road. Robbers attacked him and left him hurt on the ground. A priest walked by — but he didn't stop. Another important man walked by — he didn't stop either. Then a Samaritan came by. Samaritans and the hurt man's people didn't get along. But the Samaritan didn't care about that. He stopped, bandaged the man's wounds, put him on his donkey, and took him to an inn. Jesus told this story to answer the question: "Who is my neighbor?" The answer is: everyone! Anyone who needs help is our neighbor. It doesn't matter if they look different or come from a different place.
