The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

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 10:51-52

Our Lord well knew what he wanted; but it was necessary that he and those around him should hear from the lips of the blind man the confession of his need, and of his faith in the power that was present to heal him. And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight . "Rabboni," or "Rabbuni," means literally, my Master . It was a more respectful mode of address than the more simple form "Rabbi." This expression shows that Bartimaeus had yet much to learn as to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:52

"Saving faith." I. NOT ONE OF SEVERAL KINDS OF FAITH , BUT SIMPLY FAITH PROPERLY DIRECTED , AND PRACTICALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CHRIST 'S POWER . Much confusion on this subject. Theologians have spoken of different sorts of faith, as speculative, practical, historical, realizing, and saving. There is but one faith, a faculty of the soul. What is needed is not the faculty, which already exists, but the proper direction or destination of it. That is a ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 10:46-52

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 20:29-34.Mark 10:46Blind Bartimeus - Matthew says there were two. Mark mentions but one, though he does not deny that there was another. He mentions this man because he was well known - Bartimeus, the “blind man.”Mark 10:50Casting away his garment - That is, his outer garment - the one that was thrown loosely over him. See the notes at Matthew 5:40. He threw it off, full of joy at the prospect of being healed, and that he might run without... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 10:46-52

Mark 10:46-52. And as he went out of Jericho, blind Bartimeus sat by the way-side Matthew ( Mat 20:29 ) says, there were two blind men. It seems this Bartimeus was the more eminent of the two, and spoke for them both. See on Matthew 20:29-34. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth Of some of whose miracles he had doubtless received information; he began to cry out, Jesus, thou son of David, &c. Our Lord’s name was no sooner mentioned than this blind man, who was well acquainted... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 10:46-52

113. Blind men near Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-43)It seems that Jesus healed several blind beggars as he passed through Jericho (Matthew 20:29-30; Mark 10:46; Luke 18:35). The men were determined to attract the attention of Jesus and called out loudly, addressing him by his messianic title, son of David. Jesus called the men to him, and although he clearly saw their need, he asked them what they wanted. He wanted them to declare their faith boldly, and thereby... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 10:52

And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way.Thy faith hath made thee whole ... may also be translated, "Thy faith hath saved thee" (see the English Revised Version (1885) margin). From this, Turlington concluded that "the story is not only historical but a parable."[49]Cranfield concluded that Bartimaeus became a disciple of Jesus and supposed that fact to underlie the fact of his name being remembered.... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:52

Mark 10:52. Hath made thee whole.— Σεσωκεσε, hath saved thee, which seems evidently to refer to something more than a mere bodily cure. Inferences drawn from the application of the young ruler to Christ—When our Saviour dwelt upon earth, he found a young man in the coasts of Judea, who preferred the riches of this world to all the treasures of heaven;—and yet Jesus cast an eye of love upon him. This love was not properly a divine love, except as a love of pity. We must understand it chiefly in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:31-52

V. THE SERVANT’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM 8:31-10:52Having comprehended Jesus’ true identity the disciples next turned south with Jesus and headed from Caesarea Philippi toward Jerusalem. This section of the Gospel traces that journey and stresses Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for His coming death and resurrection."It is no coincidence that the narrator frames the journey to Jerusalem with two healing stories about blindness [Mark 8:22-26; Mark 10:46-52], for the journey surely seems... read more
