Luke structured his Gospel with an inter-narrative framework to ensure the proper interpretation of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. This **narrative literary approach** is considered unique to Luke’s Gospel and offers a new perspective on **biblical interpretation**.
This study aims to demonstrate that **Jesus Christ** is the central image of the **Parable of the Good Samaritan** by analyzing Luke’s **narrative structure, chiastic patterns, and literary techniques**. The research also explores the **intertextual connection** between the Good Samaritan parable and **Old Testament texts, particularly Ezekiel 34**.
**Keywords:** Good Samaritan, Parable, Gospel of Luke, Biblical Interpretation, Narrative Structure, Literary Approach, Chiastic Structure, Intertextuality, Ezekiel 34, Christian Philosophy.
