The Parables of Jesus: Part Four: 'Who Is My Neighbor?' - Brian Knowles - August 1974

AFTER THE great Galilean ministry, Jesus began to travel outside the province. His journeyings to preach the gospel took Him to the north to Caesarea Philippi (Matt. 16:13), and then back to Galilee again. Later he went south to Judea and Jerusalem (John 7 and 8). This period is generally called the "later Judaean ministry" by commentators. At s me point during this Judaean period, Jesus gave the parable of the good Samaritan. If you have studied a little of the history of Israel, you will recall that the northern ten tribes of the House of Israel were taken captive by the Assyrians in the years 721-718 B.C. The bulk of the House of Judah (with parts of Benjamin and Levi) did not go into captivity until the Babylonians conquered them in the year 585. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
