A small quibble, most folks refer to that as the story of the good Samaritan.

Nowhere in the text of the story does the word 'good' appear. If the Samaritan was 'good', why wouldn't he stop and help the guy in the road?

If you delete the word 'good', and the ordinary, regular, run of the mill, plain vanilla Samaritan still manages to stop and render aid, see how the meaning of the parable is changed ??

(Isaac Asimov noted this like 50 years ago, he had a great point, and I would hope it has increased relevance today as to when he penned it)
