Mark 10:46-47 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

This passage of story agrees with that, Matt. 20:29 Only that there were told of two blind men; here, and Luke 18:35; only of one: but if there were two, there was one. This one is named here, being a blind beggar that was much talked of; he was called Bartimeus, that is, the son of Timeus; which, some think, signifies the son of a blind man; he was the blind son of a blind father, which made the case worse, and the cure more wonderful, and the more proper to typify the spiritual cures wrought... read more

10:46-52 They went to Jericho. As Jesus was passing through Jericho, on his way out of the city--his disciples and a great crowd were with him--Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there he began to shout. "Son of David!" he cried, "Jesus! Have pity on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet. But he shouted all the more, "Son of David! Have pity on me!" Jesus came to a stop. "Call him here!" he said. They... read more

And they came to Jericho ,.... Christ and his disciples, from the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan, in their way to Jerusalem; where Christ met with Zaccheus and converted him, and after some short stay at his house, departed thence; and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great number of people : which followed him out of that city, to go with him to Jerusalem, being but ten miles off: blind Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging ; who was one... read more

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth ,.... "That passed by", as reads the Persic version; which he might learn, by inquiring the meaning of such a multitude of people, and the noise; or he might hear his name frequently mentioned, and it said, that, he, was coming, or passing by: he began to cry out ; aloud, and with great vehemency, and often repeating it: and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me : he did not call him Jesus of Nazareth, as the common people... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:46

Blind Bartimeus - בר bar in Syriac signifies son. It appears that he was thus named because Timeus, Talmeus or Talmai, was the name of his father, and thus the son would be called Bar-talmeus, or Bartholomew. Some suppose υἱος Τιμαιου , the son of Timeus, to be an interpolation. Bartimeus the son of Timeus, ὁ τυφλος , The blind man. It was because he was the most remarkable that this evangelist mentions him by name, as a person probably well known in those parts. read more

And they come to Jericho . Jericho, situated in the midst of a fertile, well-watered country, celebrated for its palm trees, was situated about seventeen English miles east-north-east of Jerusalem, and about six miles from the nearest bend of the river Jordan. In the time of our Lord it was one of the most important cities next to Jerusalem. It is now known by the name of Richa or Ericha, and is almost deserted. The journey from the Jordan to Jericho is through a fiat country; but that from... 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

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
