Jewish pilgrims who passed through Samaritan territory were often assaulted. Jesus did the unthinkable for a Jew. Jesus' offer of friendship was rebuffed. Jesus, however, rebukes them for their lack of toleration. Jesus had set his face toward Jerusalem to die on a cross that Jew, Samaritan and Gentile might be reconciled with God and be made one in Christ.
Tolerance is a much needed virtue today.
Christian love seeks the highest good of neighbor and enemy. Lord, you are gracious and merciful. Free me from prejudice and intolerance towards those I find disagreeable, and widen my heart to love and to seek their good. For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. Thou hast put me in the depths of the Pit, in the regions dark and deep.
