In the beginning

The opening of Genesis echoes in the opening of John and in the language of the letters.

Another story

Who is my neighbor?

A lawyer quotes the law of love; Jesus answers with a man on the Jericho road and a Samaritan who stops.

From the law to a parable

Luke 10:27,25 threads

The lawyer answers Jesus with two lines of the law of Moses, Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18. The gold arcs are the links this story follows.

Chiastic structures

Luke 10:30–35

Open Luke 10 and, inside the parable, there is another kind of pattern: lines that answer each other in mirror order around a center.

Compassion Reverses Abandonment

A > B > C > X > C′ > B′ > A′

XThe Samaritan comes near, sees the wounded man, and is moved with compassion.

Three movements that leave the wounded man, the center, then three that undo them.

The galaxies

One parable,in every galaxy

Arc and Xchange both read Luke 10:30–35 as a seven-part mirror; Murai reads the whole of Luke 10:25–37 as a parallel structure. Merged, the shared passage becomes one star with a ring for each source.

The structure view

The same parable,as a ladder

Open any structure and its lines step in toward the center and back out again, a bracket joining each pair. Below it, every pair of passages is set side by side to compare.
