Good Samaritan

Someone who helps others when they are in need, with no discussion for compensation, and no thought of a reward.

This comes from the tale of the Good Samaritan (Samaritans worship an ancient form of Judaism) in the bible who helped a Jew who had been beaten, robbed and left for dead despite the fact that Jews and Samaritans are rightfully enemies.



You help others without any thought for yourself, you are such a good Samaritan!



Spanish: ser un buen samaritano



German: einen Samariterdienst erweisen
