The Parable Of The Good Samaritan as affectionately known: though a clear contrast to the teachings of Christ at that moment in time, for He said there is none good but God; ( for all men had the adamic or sin nature; except the John the Baptist baptized/and Christ baptized by the baptism of the forgiveness of sin and though forgiven it was not the season of Grace) is one of the most astoundingly quoted and afore mentions morals of the Christian fabric. Yet it is one of the most misconstrued due to the stiff culture differences between the used sampling of the nationalities. The stiff culture between the two though both living in the heritage of Jacob or Israel had no dealings with each other.

Whenever this parable is quoted many simply forget that the only thing that could have clearly described a Jew from a Samaritan was his blue tussle that he had to stick to his right shoulder to always remember the Law. With it striped with the clothes, there was no way the Priest or Levite could have identified him as a Jew. Yet upon their predicament was the issue of uniforms. Their holy uniforms would be defiled if they touch a dead man. A thing that would mean they would miss their set lot of service for the term they were probably headed to Jerusalem for the lot fell on them. A thing that would mean a sudden deficit in the number of hands granted the time of service.

Haggai 2:12-13 KJV If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.

The above words from the book of Haggai teaches us something. That there are things that are binding to both a Priest and Levite by Law. Whatever they touch with their garments determines their cleanliness before the eyes of God. With that said, one can begin to understand the parable; putting in consideration what Christ was saying to the man.
