Noting the continuing popularity among pastoral theologians of the Good Samaritan as an image of the pastoral caregiver, the author argues that the parable is not really about the obligation of the pastor to offer care but about accepting help from one toward whom one has deeply-engrained prejudicial attitudes and/or hostility. Thus, if the parable is used for insight into the role of function of the pastor, the negative models of the Priest and the Levite are instructive; but if one is looking for a positive pastoral image from among the parables of Jesus, one might consider the image of the Unjust Judge.
鉴于“好撒玛利亚人”作为牧师照顾者形象在牧师神学家中一直很受欢迎，作者认为，这个比喻并非真正关于牧师提供照顾的义务，而是关于接受来自一个自己对其持有根深蒂固的偏见态度和/或敌意之人的帮助。因此，如果用这个比喻来洞察牧师的角色功能，牧师和利未人的负面模式具有启发性；但如果想从耶稣的比喻中寻找一个正面的牧师形象，人们可能会考虑不义法官的形象。
