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

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

And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.Luke gave the detail of the blind man's inquiry which prompted the reply to it recorded here.Thou Son of David ... This was a common title of the expected Messiah in use throughout Israel in the times of Christ; and there is no way to deny the implications of it as used by Bartimaeus. Significantly, the Pharisees were blind to the fact of Jesus being truly the Son of David,... read more

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

C. The third passion prediction and its lessons 10:32-52This is the last time Jesus told His disciples that He was going to die and rise again as He approached Jerusalem. Each time Jesus gave them more information than He had given before. The first time the disciples reacted violently (Mark 8:32). The second time they did not understand what He meant and were afraid to ask Him for an explanation (Mark 9:32). This time Mark recorded no reaction to His announcement except that an argument about... read more

3. The healing of a blind man near Jericho 10:46-52 (cf. Matthew 20:29-34; Luke 18:35-43)Mark probably included this incident in his Gospel because it illustrates how Jesus would open the spiritual eyes of His disciples that were still shut (cf. Mark 8:22-26). This is the last healing miracle that Mark recorded."This second account of the blind being healed (see Mark 8:22-26 for the first account) concludes this central section of Mark (Mark 8:27 to Mark 10:52) and serves as ’bookends’ of this... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:47-48

The two descriptions of Jesus in these verses reveal the faith of Bartimaeus. The crowds simply described Jesus as "the Nazarene." Bartimaeus had obviously heard about Jesus and had concluded that He was the Messiah. "Son of David" is a messianic title (cf. Mark 11:9-10; Mark 12:35-37; 2 Samuel 7:8-16; Isaiah 11:1; Isaiah 11:10; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Ezekiel 34:23-24). Even though Bartimaeus lacked physical sight he saw more clearly who Jesus was then the multitudes who could see. His cry for mercy... read more
