The Blind Man Called Bartimaeus
Jesus was travelling towards Jerusalem. Jericho was the last town before Jerusalem.
Bartimaeus could not see. But he still knew who Jesus was.
David was the great king who ruled in Jerusalem many centuries before. The "son of David" was another name for The Christ. (See my note about Mark 8:27-30).
People believed that the Christ would cause
Jesus asked Bartimaeus to come. Then Jesus spoke to Bartimaeus. Because Bartimaeus believed God, God had made him well.
And then Bartimaeus saw. But he did not leave Jesus. Instead, Bartimaeus followed Jesus. And they continued towards Jerusalem.
