“Vulnerability appears in manifold ways in one short passage: The Samaritan’s risky mercy. The humanity of the priest and the Levite. Also, the innkeeper’s trust; he takes a small down payment, believing the promise of more. There’s the boldness of the legal expert too; he instigates this whole thing by asking a testing question—and it’s quintessentially Jesus to meet even the self-righteous by staying in conversation. Candor invites us to see ourselves in each of these characters.”
