Jesus told the parable of "The good Samaritan". The Samaritans were hated by the Jews. However when a Jew had been robbed and beaten the only person that would stop to help was a Samaritan. His own people passed him by and did not want to get involved. Jesus was telling us that we should help others regardless of their background, race, religion or any other differences. We are all one people and we should help each other. Just as God loves us all we should love each other. We may not love what others are doing but we are to love them as a person. Help those in need, pray for those that need prayer. Thus Jesus Himself did not do anything directly in the story of the Good Samaritan, although He certainly lived by the principles He taught.
