Mark 10:50-51

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 10:50

And he casting away his garment ,.... His upper garment, and which no doubt was little worth; though this he did, that he might make the quicker dispatch to Christ: rose ; from off the bank, or ground, whereon he sat, in an instant: and "sprung up", as the Vulgate Latin, and Beza's ancient copy read, with great nimbleness, and in haste: and came to Jesus ; being led by the persons that were sent to call him. It may be observed from hence, that such who are effectually called by the... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:50

And he, casting away his garment - He cast off his outward covering, a blanket, or loose piece of cloth, the usual upper garment of an Asiatic mendicant, which kept him from the inclemency of the weather, that he might have nothing to hinder him from getting speedily to Christ. If every penitent were as ready to throw aside his self-righteousness and sinful incumbrances, as this blind man was to throw aside his garment, we should have fewer delays in conversions than we now have; and all... 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

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
