The verse says: “And on either side of the river was there a tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” (Bradbury, 158).

That thought altered how Reverend Diana saw the world, and Christianity. This consequently changed how he would spend the rest of his life. He replied saying “May be a--ring--a little stone--in a--a--a--ring.”

Jesus was being tempted to doubt God, which humans often do. We often choose to blame God for our own mistakes, and forget to reflect on all that he has truly done for us.

The first five verses preluding into the parable was the lawyer wanting to discover how one receives salvation. He did not simply ask this question because he was curious, it was because he wanted to make it a test for Jesus to answer. The lawyer made a standing appearance to draw attention to his question and the answer that he was going to receive from Jesus. The lawyer ended with asking for clarification of who specifically his neighbor was. “He asked this question, therefore, in the expectation of securing such a definition of the word as would enable him to maintain his public standing and quiet his conscience” (Bible Study Tools).
