“…Nevertheless, the Samaritans remained faithful servants of Israel's God. More recently, Chalmers ( 2020 ) argued against the conventionally scholarly exclusion of the Samaritans in first-century Palestine from Israelites—they were nevertheless understood by Jews as enmities; rather, the status of the Samaritans was presumably situated as an interactive inclusion of Samaritan Israelites rather than non-Israelite “others.” Compared with Jews, due to a lack of knowledge of the ritual precept, the Samaritans were occasionally suspicious of their strictness of abiding by the legal system of impurity and purity (Amit, 2010 , p. 263).

From an integrative approach of parable interpretation that combines ethical, evolutionary, historical, and psychological perspectives, the current research empirically examined the purely theorized assumption elucidating the behaviors of the priest, Levite, and Samaritan in the good Samaritan parable (Luke 10:25-37) by the regulatory focus theory. In one experiment conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak, 93 Polish participants were randomly assigned to a simulated vignette of the good Samaritan parable where either the prevention or promotion regulatory focus was manipulated. The results confirmed a certain favorable tendency to offer quasi-realistic help in both the regulatory focus conditions. The finding highlights a dynamic association in goal pursuit motivation and prosocial behavior in a pandemic context regarding the good Samaritan parable. The current study is among rare empirical research which reflects a challenge people respond to offer help in simulated scenarios as original as the good Samaritan parable.

The main subject of our work is the Samaritans. Firstly, it will provide a general information about the principles of faith of this religious community that has been living in the territory of the Palestine for centuries. The major sticking point between the Orthodox Jews and the Samaritans is the debate about the origins of the Samaritans. Their approach of that debate, in terms of their history and resources, will be discussed. Today, the Samaritans live in Luza village (Kiryat Luza) near Nablus, Palestine and in Holon near Tel Aviv, Israel. In the next chapter, their life in Holon will be focused on. The relations with the State of Israel and the Jews, the issue of how the problem of origin effects these relations will be discussed with examples from the today's world.
