Ineed now pweese why does jesus tell the parable of the good samaritan? a. to prove one of his doubters wrong b. to amuse his audience of samaritans c. to explain an important idea d. to protect a person from samaria

The correct answer is C. to explain an important idea. Jesus told a man that he should love his neighbor, and when the man asked him who his neighbor was, Jesus told the parable so that the man would understand that everyone was his neighbor, and he should help all people no matter what their nationality, race, creed or religion.
