Parables: the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son and the Lost Sheep, sentence 1

When a lawyer asked «Who is my neighbour?», Jesus told of a man robbed and left half dead: a priest and a Levite passed by on the other side, but a Samaritan — from a people the listeners disliked — stopped, bandaged him and paid for his care.

Who acts: lawyer, Jesus, priest, listeners, Samaritan · What happens: ask, be, tell, rob, leave, pass by · To what, where: neighbour, man, half, other side, people, Jesus · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Parables: the Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son and the Lost Sheep» of the religion ethics course of Mova's primary school.
