In The Bible, the good Samaritan is about a man who was beaten up by "thugs" and left to die on the side of the road. People pass by only to leave him there, one of which was a priest. Finally a man came along him and helped him into the next town. There, the good Samaritan paid for him to be cleaned and to recover in an inn all at the Samaritan's expense. the beaten man wanted to repay him but he had no money and the Samaritan said he did not need to pay.
Generally, the ancient samaritans were hated by the Jews and the Greeks. To the Jews, Greeks were "Gentiles", meaning that they were not Jews. Therefore, they were polytheistic (they believed in more than one god) and unclean. To marry a Gentile would be a heinous crime in the Jewish community. Samaritans were generally Jews and Greeks that were intermarried. Once this was found out, both individuals (the Jew and the Greek) would be cast out of their own communities, forcing Samaritans to build their own towns and cities. To sum it up, a Jew would be hated for marrying a Gentile for the above-listed reasons, and Greeks would also be hated for marrying out of their polytheistic religion.
The Jewish day starts at Sundown where the rest of the Calendars assume Midnight. If Wednesday is the day of Nisan 14, it would be Wednesday evening, which is when Jesus celebrated the Passover with His disciples (also known as the last supper). Jesus was THE Lamb of God slain for us on the day of Passover (Thursday) giving up His spirit at approximately 1500 hours, and His interment was prior to Sunset (Nisan 15 - beginning of Friday) which was the Feast of unleavened bread, a Holy Convocation. This was followed by Nisan 16 at Sunset (Saturday) a regular weekly Sabbath. At Sunset Saturday was the beginning of the first day of the week, Sunday, the DAY on which Jesus rose, the 17th of Nisan. The 17th would be the Feast of First Fruits. IF you have followed this, then you clearly see that Jesus fulfilled the ONLY SIGN given (Matthew 12:29-30), the sign of Jonah = 3 days & 3 nights in the heart of the earth ~

In the bible there is a story of Jesus sitting at a well in midday , and as the disciples had gone out. A Samaritan women came to draw water at noon, as it was a custom in those days the Jews collected water in the morning or in the evenings, but the afternoon was given to the Samaritans. As the samaritans worshiped idols the Jews considered then outcasts.
The Samaritans were the inhabitants of Samaria. They were of mixed Jewish and heathen descent. The Samaritans claimed descent from Jacob, and looked on themselves as true Israelites. A mountain in Samaria, Mount Gerizim had been adopted as their official place of worship. The Jews had a deep dislike for the Samaritans. They considered them half-breeds. That is why this woman said to the Lord Jesus, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?"
Yes, they were. It is known that people really would cross the Jordan to the east bank and bypass Samaria on the way to and from Galilee and Judea.
Luke 10:25-37 Its not that Samaritans help, per se, it's that the people Jesus was telling the story to (the Jews) disliked the Samaritans and considered them bad people (i.e. not likely to help a down trodden person.) In the story, a man is rob and beaten. The priest and temple boy (the people who the target audience (the Jews) would assume go to heaven) pass the man in need on the other side of the street; however, the "villainous" Samaritans helps the guy out. The premise is "Love your neighbor" and you go to heaven.
The motto of Samaritans of Singapore is 'To be an available lifeline to anyone in crisis.'.
Jesus had dealings with many different types of people. Many of His encounters with people are recorded in the Gospels. He was particularly friendly with people who needed Him - people who knew they were sinners and who were outcasts from the society of His day. This drew criticism from the proud religious leaders of His day.
