The Parable of the Good Samaritan is found in Luke 10:25-37. Let’s start with the Good Samaritan Listening Exercise. This exercise is the first part of Intermediate Lesson 3, or you can do it as an individual listening exercise.

First, be prepared to find the answers to these four questions as you listen:

  1. What do people have to do to obtain eternal life, according to Jesus?
  2. What happened to the man who was traveling to Jericho?
  3. What did the priest do when he saw the injured man?
  4. What did the temple worker do when he saw the injured man?
  5. Where did the man from Samaria take the injured man?

Click the play button when you are ready to listen. Find the answers to the five questions. Listen again and again, and become more familiar with the words each time you listen.

Do you hear the way English speakers put stress on certain words and syllables? Maybe you heard peculiar pronunciations, like the difference between the “f” sound of “yourself,” and the “v” sound of “forgiven?” Do your best, but don’t worry if you don’t understand everything. You can listen to it again during the Reading exercise.

Now, move on to the Reading Exercise.
