The Good Samaritan: Questions for Group Discussion

Some 'readymade' questions for group discussion:

• Why was the man going such a long way?
• Was the traveller frightened when he started off?
• Would you like to have gone with him?
• Why was it that the Samaritan could be called a real friend?
• When do you need a friend most of all?
• Do you know a friend who will help you even when it is very difficult for them?
• Why do you think the Good Samaritan paid the man's bill?
• What do you think Jesus would have done if he had found someone so badly treated and injured?
