Mark 10:46 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:46

And they came to Jericho
Christ and his disciples, from the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan, in their way to Jerusalem; where Christ met with Zaccheus and converted him, and after some short stay at his house, departed thence;

and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great number
of people:
which followed him out of that city, to go with him to Jerusalem, being but ten miles off:

blind Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging;
who was one of the two blind men Matthew makes mention of it, (See Gill on Matthew 20:30).

Mark 10:46 In-Context

44 Whoever wants to be first among you will be the slave of all,

45 for the Human One didn't come to be served but rather to serve and to give his life to liberate many people."

46 Jesus and his followers came into Jericho. As Jesus was leaving Jericho, together with his disciples and a sizable crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, Timaeus' son, was sitting beside the road.

47 When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was there, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, show me mercy!"

48 Many scolded him, telling him to be quiet, but he shouted even louder, "Son of David, show me mercy!"
