A Study From

Lk.10:25-37

• From Origen in the 3rd Century• “The man who fell among the robbers is Adam.

Jerusalem represents heaven, and Jericho, since it was away from Jerusalem, represents the world. The robbers are man’s enemies, the devil and his comrades. The priest stands for the Law, and the Levite for the prophets, and the Good Samaritan for Christ Himself. The beast, on which the wounded man was placed, is Christ’s body which bears the fallen Adam. The inn is the church, while the two pence are the Father and Son. The good Samaritan promises that he will come back again, so Christ Jesus will come again at the end of the world.”
