Abstract
The parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and the story of the Healing of Ten Lepers (Luke 17:11-19) use the dynamic of division between Jews and Samaritans to create a category of the “other.” They invite their audience to think differently about these “others” who, at the narrative level, present a positive model for virtue. This dynamic challenges us to strive beyond mere tolerance, as they invite us to learn from such “others.”
