EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving by Gustave Dore, created in the 19th century, depicts a poignant scene from the Parable of the Good Samaritan as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. In this episode from the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37), a man is left beaten and exhausted on the side of the road after being robbed. Two religious leaders, a priest and a Levite, pass by the man but choose to ignore him, likely due to their fear of becoming unclean. However, a Samaritan, an outsider and a despised figure in Jewish society at the time, stops to help the man. He bandages his wounds, takes him to an inn, and pays for his care. This powerful image encapsulates the essence of benevolence and mercy, as exemplified by the Good Samaritan. The historical context of this parable, which was likely drawn from ancient Jewish folklore, underscores the importance of showing kindness and compassion to all, regardless of social status or background. The engraving's intricate details and Dore's masterful use of light and shadow transport us back to a time when such stories were passed down through oral tradition and served as a moral compass for communities. This timeless tale continues to inspire us today, reminding us of the power of love and charity in our own lives.
