Meaning Of Good Samaritan

The Bible contributed a number of sayings and terms to the English language, once it had been translated from Latin, so that more people could understand it. Despite today’s increasingly secular society, many of these contributions have stuck with us and are still used, though some are misquoted or have had their origins obscured.
Though there are many, I’ve chosen a few that are more common, and a few that are some of my favourites, to make up just 10:
1. A leopard cannot change its spots.
The original is found in the Book of Jeremiah: “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil” (13:23, KJV).
The meaning behind this phrase is that one cannot change their nature, or
And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch” (15:14, KJV).
Therefore as one would expect, the end result isn’t going to be good. https://pixabay.com/en/blindfolded-propaganda-woman-girl-158204/ 10. Good Samaritan
The term Good Samaritan is often used to describe a person who goes out of their way to assist someone else. This phrase originates from Jesus’ parable in Luke 10:30-37 (KJV). Often called the parable of the Good Samaritan, the story is centered on a man who is beaten and robbed, and left to die.
In the parable a priest, and a Levite, both pass by seeing the suffering man but do not help him. After this however, a Samaritan finds him and treats his wounds, before transporting him to a nearby inn to care for him. Upon leaving, the Samaritan gives the inn keeper money to care for the injured man, and promises to pay for any additional costs upon his return.
