(Joh 12:32) This parable taught his followers that they should go out of their way to show love to others, even those who may be very different from them.
The Bible also says: “[God] did not hold back from punishing an ancient world, but kept Noah, a preacher of righteousness, safe with seven others when he brought a deluge upon a world of ungodly people.”—2 Peter 2:5; 3:6.
