AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 10:46 ¶ Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road [as was his custom]. [Matt 20:29-34; Luke 18:35-43] |
Bible Question: Who is Bartimus? Why is he significant? What can one derive from his mention in the Bible? What Godly principles does he embody? Is there someone else in the Bible that he compliments/contrasts? |
Bible Answer: labellalilac, I'm assuming you're refering to the story recorded in Mark 10. Bartimaeus was a devine appointment for Jesus. His mention in the Scriptures is to show faith. He screamed out to Jesus even though the people around him told him to be quiet. He kept on until Jesus heard his call. When asked what he wanted, he asked in faith "Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!"(Mark 10:51). What Godly principles does he embody? None that I really see, though after being healed he followed Christ. Maybe he was one of those present at Penecost? I can't think of anyone to contrast him with. The only people who would compliment him would be the other people healed by Jesus. I hope this is of some help to you. If you need any further help please feel free to ask away. God bless, Rev Raines |
