The Parable of the Good Samaritan: An Intertextual Approach to Ezekiel 34.

This paper is an English translation of a Korean article originally published in the Korean Journal of Christian Philosophy. The original Korean version was published in [Journal of Christian Philosophy] (Vol. 41, 2024). The translation aims to make the research accessible to a wider international audience. This study explores the **Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)** through an **intertextual analysis** with **Ezekiel 34**, emphasizing the **divine shepherd imagery**—God’s care for the lost, healing of the wounded, and protection of the weak. The research demonstrates how **Luke’s literary techniques** establish intertextual links between the Old and New Testaments, particularly through the **Greek terms “katadeo” (καταδέω, "to bind up") and “trauma” (τραῦμα, "wound")**. By tracing these linguistic and thematic connections, this study argues that the **Parable of the Good Samaritan functions as a theological narrative**, portraying **Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s divine shepherd prophecy**. This perspective reveals the **redemptive mission of Christ**, linking **human sin, spiritual restoration, and divine grace**. **Keywords:** Good Samaritan, Parable, Ezekiel 34, Intertextuality, Biblical Interpretation, Literary Analysis, Luke 10:25-37, Theological Narrative, Divine Shepherd, Redemptive Mission, Greek Lexicography.
