      • " 35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, 'Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.' 38 He called out, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' 39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' 40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him.

  1. Oct 29, 2010 · THE BEGGAR’S COAT. Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”.

  2. Nov 13, 2024 · The song recounts the Biblical narrative of Bartimaeus, a blind man who called out to Jesus for healing as He passed through Galilee. This gospel classic emphasizes themes of faith, persistence, and divine mercy, culminating in the miraculous restoration of Bartimaeus’s sight.

  3. Other stories about Jesus healing blind people, which are distinctly different from this one include the Blind Man of Bethsaida in Mark 8:22-26 and John 9:1-41 - in which Jesus healed a man blind from birth: in these, Jesus saw the man, touched him and healed him without being asked.

  4. But they are all deceptively simple. Here was the very heart of the matter, what does this man want from God? Why had Bartimaeus called on Jesus? Why had a blind beggar shouted at the King of the Universe? Did he want a handout? How much, or how little, did he believe that Jesus could do for him?

  5. Jul 22, 2012 · Jesus stopped for blind Bartimaeus, a beggar in a ditch. Mark places the story of Jesus healing Bartimaeus right after James and John ask Jesus to be His vice-presidents in His new kingdom. If your Bible is still open to Mark 10, look at the verses just before today’s story.

  6. Jesus stopped for a man that many people wouldn’t have given the time of day. In a society where physical ailments were believed to have been a punishment for sin, blind Bartimaeus was on nobody’s Christmas list. Yet God Immanuel stopped and waited for the blind man to make his way to Him.

  8. The blind beggar is very clear what he wants: to regain his sight! But why does Jesus ask the obvious? I can think of two reasons: (1) to energize faith and cause it to be vocalized, or (2) to help the person himself determine what he wanted from Jesus.
