Mark 10:51-52 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

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 10:46-52

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:51

And Jesus answered and said unto him ,.... Being come to him, and standing before him: what wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? What means this vehement cry? what is it thou designest by mercy? is it money thou askest for, to relieve thy wants? or is it that thy sight may be restored? The blind man said unto him, Lord ; "Rabboni", or, as the Syriac version reads it; "Rabbi"; thou, great master in Israel, and Lord, of the whole world, my request to thee, and which thou, art, able... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 10:52

And Jesus said unto him, go thy way ,.... The Syriac version reads, it, חזא , "see"; receive thy sight, be it unto thee as thou dost desire; and which is the sense of, "go thy way": to to thine own house, or place of abode; and about thy business; thy request is granted: thy faith hath made thee whole ; or "saved thee"; and which respected not only the power of Christ in restoring his sight, but his faith in Jesus as the Messiah, the son of David: so that by Christ, the object of his... read more

Adam Clarke

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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

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

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
