Who of these three, you think you were, there was a nearby robber?

Theological interpretation[ | ]

One of the main points of this parable is the interpretation of the word "nearby" for the question of a scribe and Jesus Christ. A scribe considers the "nearby" person who is with him in related relationships or belongs to a common ethnic or religious group. And the response words of Jesus Christ lead him to understand that the neighbor is, in fact, "having had a mercy" (good). According to many researchers, these words, among other things, also express the need to consider "near" and every person who got into trouble or needs help. Archimandrite John Peastery considers this parable "By writing about the merciful Samaryanin, whose law of love was written in the heart, for whom the neighbor was not close to the spirit, not near blood, but the one who accidentally met his life pathwho exactly in that minute needed his help and love ... "

Oil mentioned in the LC. 10:34, in the Greek original is transmitted by the word elaion. (fir). The grace, which the legacy described the assistance of the victim, is also transferred to a similar word eleos.. Limitting and wines is mentioned in the context of sacred sacrifices to the Lord, for example, in bringing the victim of the mortgage (Numbers 15: 5). Thus, the Samaritan could carry firs and wine designed for the ritual, but sacrificed them for the real man for him in need of help. This example, Jesus, notes where the victim is actually, pleasing to God. OS. 6: 6 "For I want mercy, not the victims, and the aware of the exemption more, rather than burnt offensions."

Where did the phrase appear "Good Samaritan"? Who are the Samaritans?

    Samarita is a small religious ethnic Group of people. Samaritans live in some areas of Israel, their total number is about a thousand people, the Samarita is talking in Hebrew.

    The concept of good samarityanin It appeared from Proverbs about the good Samaritan now so called very responsive and good people who are ready to assist, those who need it and help unfamiliar people.

    good samarityanin - This is a phrase from the Bible (parable about the good Samarita). Parable tells about how a certain Samaritan assisted a person who fell into trouble (robbed and beat the robbers). But the point is not even that the Samaritian turned out to be a good man. The fact is that the Samarita is an ethnic group that Jews do not recognize the units. That is, while the UNITERS (priest and Levit) passed past the wounded man in need of help, Samaritan helped. The meaning of parables is that

    anyone, to whatever the people he believed, whatever faith would confess, may be kind.

    Samaritans still live in Israel. They consider themselves the descendants of the inhabitants of the Israeli kingdom, the knee of Joseph. Name Samarita Comes from the name of the territory on which they lived, - Samaria. In the Jewish interpretation: Samaritans are descendants of Gutiyev, or Huples. They were resettled by the Assyrians on the Earth of the Israeli Kingdom, where they accepted Judaism (but Judaism Samaritians were different and different from Judaism, which the Jews confess).

    For the man who fell into trouble middle It turned out to be the one who helped him, despite the fact that this samaryanin who came to the rescue was quite a stranger, he was not recognized as an original population. And his own and Levit, and the priest who simply had to respond to trouble, passed by. So here they no neighborAlthough they are put in society to instruct.

The expression from the Bible (the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 10), which describes the story, told by Jesus to his students. In this parable, he came to the rescue, from whom the person was least expected to help. Samarita is a small ethnic group who lived in Israel.

The special meaning of this expression also gives the fact that the Jews were in a state of war with the Samarities. Thus, Samaritan at that time was perceived as a representative of the enemy's mill, but this particular person came to the rescue:

"LK.10: 25 And now, one leg got up and, tempting him, said: Teacher! What should I do to inherit the life of the eternal?
LK.10: 26 He told him: What is written in the law? How do you read?

LK.10: 36 Which of these three, do you think, was the nearby robbers? LK.10: 37 He said: she had mercy. Then Jesus told him: Go, and you do the same. "

This biblical parable became the subject of paintings by many artists. For example, the painting "Good Samaritian" of Artists Rembrant, Bassano (Bassano) (Dynasty of artists 16 - early 17th centuries from the family da Ponte), Johann Karl (Loth, Johann Karl) (1632, Munich - 1698, Venice).

The expression is kind softman applies in english language (Good Samaritan), with the value of a compassionable person who disinterestedly helps others (A Compassionate Person Who Unselfishly Helps Others) (indicated in the American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms "by Christine Ammer), 1992). It is indicated that in English the expression applies from the 17th century.

Examples

"Daniel Stein, Translator" (2006): "The crown with another sister entered the church, when the passage from the Gospel was read there - about merciful Samarityan. Maybe you do not remember this passage? This is a parable, which Jesus told his students. It was like this: one Jew came from Jerusalem to Jericho, and robbers attacked him. Robbed, beat and left on the road. The walking past the Jew-priest saw him and passed by. The other Jew passed the same way. And she walked past a stranger, a resident of Samaria, and he cleared, bandaged wounds and dismissed unhappy to the hotel. There he left the patient, paying the owner of money for maintenance and treatment. Next, Jesus asks: Which of these three was nearby robbers? His mercy. Go and do the same ... "

Human memory is designed so that evil acts keep well. We are well aware of the biography of Hitler, Stalin, Caligules and other bloody tyrants. But few people can remember the real name of the one who entered the story under the nickname "Good Samaritan". What does this expression mean, it became known thanks to the Bible.

Parable about good samaritan

Among the outfit stories who behaved with Jesus with a common people, stand out tale of the merciful inhabitant of the region of Samaria .

One of the laws (i.e., the interpreter of the Jewish law) decided to inform about the ways to gain eternal life. Jesus replied that it was enough to live in love with the neighbors. The answer seemed to the questioning too vague, and the Prophet decided to illustrate his case from life:

  • The paradise hero is a Jew, overcoming the road to Jericho on foot;
  • But on the way, he fell into the gangsters, who tried him to the thread and left to die in the middle of the road;
  • Unhappy long time lay on a busy path, but no one helped him. That the usual devented Jew, that the priest did not find pity for him;
  • But the help arrived from one of those who found themselves in the local areas samaryan. (Their Jews considered long-standing enemies). He did not regret the last money for helping the dying.

Thus, Jesus demonstrated a legitimate need to help anyone in trouble. And it does not matter where he comes from, what is he religion and nationality.

Who are the Samaritans?

Today samarita There are a small people with a number of no more than a thousand people. They live in Israel in the world and tranquility with the title nation of Jews.

But two thousand years ago, these bales had many reasons for dislike to each other:

  • The name of the ethnic group received in the city of Samaria, which was the last capital of the Israeli kingdom. They were forcibly relocated there by Assyrians;
  • Once at the Jewish Earth, the people perceived local customs, but did not forget their own;
  • Problems with assimilation caused conflicts with Jews, sometimes overcomed to open clashes;
  • By 539 BC e. Peoples on both sides of Canaan were finally alleged;
  • Alexander Macedonsky, after the conquest of the Middle East, decided to take advantage of local conflicts and helped national minorities in the struggle for his rights. So, with the participation of the Macedonian administration, the Samaritan temple was built;
  • Romans continued the policies of separation and respect. They provided the opponents of the Jews wide autonomy and forced them to accept paganism;
  • In the next century, the number of people fell noticeably due to Islamization.

The law of good samaritanina

Under this conditional name in the United States, a complex of regulatory acts relating to assistance to victims before the arrival of rescuers is known.

Almost every state has its own facilities, but they are all based on the principles of common sense:

  • A person is obliged to help the victim only if they are associated with family bonds, he is at the attending physician or culprit of a distress. In all other cases, the law leaves the right of salvation at the discretion of every citizen;
  • If passerby decided to voluntarily approach the victim, he has no right to leave the scene before the "ambulance" arrival. The only exception: danger to the life of the assistant himself;
  • Successful salvation of someone else's life is not subject to payment, even if the actions produced a qualified specialist;
  • All other things being equal, the "Samaritan" is not responsible for the possible loss of health as a result of bearish services;
  • The opinion of the victim matters. If he explicitly expressed the desire to not accept help, then the violation of his will will be engaged in all the strictness of the law.

Cultural perception

The plot is one of the most popular in world art, especially medieval. Almost every great artist dedicated him one of his cloths:

  • Rembrandt;
  • Vincent Van Gogh;
  • Eme Morot;
  • Domenico Fetty;
  • Johann Karl Lot;
  • George Frederick Watts;
  • Jacomo Conti;
  • Yang Weinants.

Modern culture also has a lot of reference to the legendary parable of Christ:

Rembrandt Wang Rhine, one of the greatest world painters, could not go around the well-known biblical plot. In 1633, he revealed the world a canvas about the love of a person to neighbor:

  • The forefront fully occupies a horse that the servant holds for the bridle;
  • Another servant helps the dying to climb the stairs to the room;
  • The entrance has a wealthy man in which you can learn virtue. He presents the owner of the dinar house as a fee for care for the victim;
  • In the left edge of the picture you can see young man in a hat with a plumage;
  • In his direction and looks unhappy. The expression of his face says that he barely understands where it turned out. According to the popular reading of the Jew, it believes that he fell into the paws of the leader of the robbers ripped out;
  • According to critics, the image of the Jew has most accurately conveys the position of a person concerned about his life. Neither before, nor after the artists did not manage to paint the expression of helplessness on the face;
  • At the right end of the canvas, the indifferent servant takes water from the well.

A few years later, Rembrandt wrote another painting option.

Expression "Good Samaritan"

The phrase has become a winged and used to designate the one who is ready to sacrifice the most latter for absolutely unfamiliar man . This importance is reflected in the name of some hospitals, hospitals and charitable organizations.

Often, expression is used in portable meaningWith regard to those who expose their "kindness" at the bottom.

Theological Science is deprived of such one-dimensional interpretations of legendary parables:

  • The Greek philosopher Origen interprets it as the salvation of Adam Jesus, which indicates the inevitability of the second coming. The priest passed by the priest personifies a heartless law that protects the power of the property;
  • Augustine will offer an even more symbolic interpretation: Jericho personifies the eternal life who passed by - Old Testament, the owner of the house (where she climbed the victim) - the Apostle Paul. According to modern philosophers, such a interpretation is recognized by the "messenger", which does not have any relation to the original send;
  • One of the leading figures of the Reformation Jean Calvin believed that history suggests innate obligations between all people on Earth.

The Bible is the foundation of Western civilization. The culture of any country adopted Christianity contains numerous references to the Middle Eastern Folklore. So, to refer to disinterested person, they say: "Good Samaritan". This expression is equally well understood both in New York and in Moscow.
