The Samaritan was a good neighbor, i.e. he did what was demanded by charity towards the man on the side of the road because *that man was his neighbor in that moment by virtue of being in his immediate sphere of influence so he had the ability to help him in his need*. All three who passed by were neighbors in this sense, but only the Samaritan did his neighborly duty which is what Christ was asking at the end. The point of the parable is anyone you come across is your neighbor, even if they're from a group you don't like (Samaritans and Jews hated each other), though granted if they're actively subverting and destroying your people then you are bound by the higher principle to that latter group to oppose them with whatever force is necessary for the defense of those whom God has given to you by blood. Good grief you KJVtards are annoying, this is why God instituted a Church and not 30,000 book clubs to interpret His holy Word.
