I believe the answer is:

samaritan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a good man' is the definition.
(famous bible story)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for samaritan that I've seen before include "Good man of the Bible" , "Charitable person" , "Good person who helps another in distress" , "Counsellor" , "a helpful sort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
