Mark 10:47-52 KJV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:52

Followed Jesus in the way - Instead of τῳ Ιησου , Jesus, several eminent critics read αυτω , him. This is the reading of ABCDL, fourteen others, Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, later Syriac in the margin, two Persic, Vulgate, all the Itala, and Origen once. Jesus is the common reading; but this sacred name having occurred so immediately before, there could be no necessity for repeating it here, nor would the repetition have been elegant. This very remarkable cure gives us another proof,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:52

Verse 52 Mark 10:52.Thy faith hath saved thee By the wordfaith is meant not only a confident hope of recovering sight, but a loftier conviction, which was, that this blind man had acknowledged Jesus to be the Messiah whom God had promised. Nor must we imagine that it was only some confused knowledge; for we have already seen that this confession was taken from the Law and the Prophets. For the blind man did not at random bestow on Christ the name of Son of David, but embraced him as that person... read more

Blind Bartimaeus. It is not without a purpose that the evangelists have put upon record so many of our Lord's miracles wrought on behalf of the blind. In all such miracles the "sign" is prominent, the moral lesson is instructive, impressive, and encouraging. I. We recognize, in the privation of Bartimaeus, AN EMBLEM OF THE SINNER 'S STATE . For: 1 . The sinner is without spiritual knowledge. The blind are necessarily, by their deprivation of the highest of the senses,... read more

Blind Bartimaeus. I. THE BEHAVIOUR OF THOSE WHO ARE IN EARNEST ABOUT BEING SAVED . They will: 1 . Seize every opportunity that presents itself. 2 . Make the most of it , by 3 . Not be easily discouraged. 4 . Hasten to do what Jesus commands. II. THE SPIRIT THAT OUGHT TO BE SHOWN BY CHRIST 'S SERVANTS TOWARDS THOSE SEEKING SALVATION . TWO standards of conduct observed by them, viz. the dignity and glory of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

Blind Bartimaeus: the publicity of Christ's miracles. Our Lord stood face to face with men. He said with truth, "I spake openly to the world, and in secret have! said nothing." His life was spent in the glare of publicity. His miracles were not performed among chosen witnesses, who might be interested in the propagation of what was false; nor in the secrecy of some convent or retreat. They were wrought on the mountain-side, in full view of five thousand men, besides women and children; in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

Bartimaeus. On the roadside near Jericho sat a blind beggar, making his appeals to the pilgrims that passed up to Jerusalem to attend the feast. "A great multitude" accompanied Jesus on his leaving Jericho on his way to the holy city. The tramp of many feet and the hum of many voices caught the quick ear of the sufferer, and "he inquired what this meant." Learning it was "Jesus of Nazareth," he, having evidently some knowledge of the great Healer, cried aloud, "Jesus, thou Son of David,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

Blind Bartimaeus. Viewed from the side of Christ, the incident may teach— I. THE OPENING OF THE EYES OF THE BLIND IS THE MISSION OF CHRISTIANITY . If the physical boon be great, let it express for us the far greater spiritual boon. Ignorance is painfully felt by large numbers. Few who have not received a good education but bitterly feel the lack at some period or other of their life. In spreading knowledge freely we follow the example of Christ. II. THE ... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 20:29-34 ; Luke 18:35-43 — The cure of two blind men at Jericho. I. BLIND BARTIMAEUS . 1 . His condition was blind ; he was deprived of that most valuable sense of sight. He was a stranger to the beauties of nature. "The light is sweet, and a plant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun;" but that sun, that light, those beauties, those bright colors of sky or earth or sea; those lovely forms that appear in the heaven above, the earth beneath,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:48

Many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. They rebuked him, perhaps, out of reverence and regard for Christ, who might perhaps at that moment have been preaching to the people, and so might be disturbed by the blind man's loud and noisy appeal. But the rebuke of the crowd gave additional energy to his entreaties; and he cried out the more a great deal , that his voice might be heard above them all. He was in good earnest, and would not be restrained. A useful lesson is hem... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:49

And Jesus stood still ( στὰς ὁ ἰησοῦς )—literally, Jesus stood — and said, Call ye him . St. Jerome says that our Lord stood still on account of the man's infirmity. There were many walls in Jericho; there were rough places; there were rocks and precipices over which he might stumble. Therefore the Lord stood, where there was a plain path by which the blind man might approach him. The crowd show their, sympathy. There is something very genuine as well as touching in their words, ... read more
