What is the significance of both the priest and the Levite in the Good Samaritan parable?

The Levite put the law above compassion. Both the Priest and the Levite would have been unable to enter the Temple if they had contact with a ritually unclean person. Here, Jesus is drawing a strong contrast between those who speak God’s law with their words and those who actually follow it in their conduct.

The Samaritans were a group of people who lived in Samaria - an area north of Jerusalem. They were half-Jews and half-Gentiles. When Assyria captured the northern kingdom of Israel in 721 B.C. some were taken in captivity while others left behind. The ones left behind intermarried with the Assyrians.
