The Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan with the priest and the Levite (the two small figures at the top), who passed by 'on the side.' Note the pallid, pained features of the 'man who fell among thieves.' At his feet are the cruse and vine, representing the oil and wine with which the Samaritan bound up his wounds.

Information on the stained glass windows comes from the book "The Windows and Symbolism of First Methodist Church, Birmingham, Michigan", edited by Dr. Arnold F. Runkel and privately published by the church for its members in 1966.
