on the west side of town.
It was unclear what happened to him.

A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho...
Her family's home was hit by an Israeli mortar this morning.
All of her siblings and parents were killed. Her neck is broken
and she'll be paralyzed for the rest of her life.
We can't help her here. She needs to be flown out today.

He fell at Jesus' feet and pleaded with him to come to his house, because he had an only
daughter about twelve years old, who was dying.
The woman shuffled into Albertson's wearing men's shoes several sizes too big,
filthy pants meant for someone twice her size,
a torn camel-colored winter coat on a day over 90 degrees.
Her hair was stringy, grey, greasy, and stunk from a distance.
Her anxious face oversaw the deliberate movements of her very thin torso.

She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak.
*******************************************
But, the man/woman was anxious to justify himself/herself
to Jesus,
'And who is my neighbor?'
The dead man in the road,
the paralyzed girl in Gaza,
the homeless woman in Albertson's.
Where is the Good Samaritan?
Where are the peacemakers?
And
And
Who's wearing Jesus' cloak?
