Description: Inn of the Good Samaritan - Jericho Road PALESTINE: Khan al-Hatruri (Arabic: خان الحترورة), known in Western terms as the Inn of the Good Samaritan, is a ruined former caravanserai located at the road between Jerusalem and Jericho, 298 meters above sea level. It now houses a museum of ancient mosaics and other archaeological findings from the Palestinian territories, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. It is sometimes confused with the nearby Khan al-Ahmar ("Red Caravaserai"), as the Good Samaritan Inn was sometimes also called by this name. According to the Christian tradition, the site may have been the location of the event of the "Parable of the Good Samaritan" in the Gospel of Luke (Lk 10:25–37, specifically Lk 10:33). The association is made already by Jerome in 385 and continued through the centuries, the British Mandate authorities adopting the name Good Samaritan Inn for the site. There are few inns located between Jerusalem and Jericho, and Khan al-Hatruri is a plausible fit for the location of the story. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition, but shows some edge wear. Vester & Co. No. 33. No. 374908.
