    About this ebook

    The story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible has lost a lot of its meaning.  People today think of Samaritans as good people, but they were despised by the Jews at the time of Jesus.  This story has been updated to make it easier to understand. The Samaritan is replaced by person that is not well thought of by our society, so the story becomes easier to understand.
    There is no explicit sex or vulgar language.

      29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

      30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
