paraphrased ‘enter the story’
🕊️reading & study 🕊️
46 - (On their way to Jerusalem) they came to Jericho. And a great crowd was walking with them as they were leaving Jericho, and Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 He heard the commotion, and when he learned it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many in the crowd scolded him, and told him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David! Have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over here.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up, he’s calling for you!” 50 And throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus sprang up and went to Jesus.
51 And Jesus said to him, “What is it you want me to do for you?” And he said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 And Jesus said, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” And immediately his sight was restored and he could see. He then joined the crowd that was following Jesus.
