Mark 10:48 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:48

And many charged him that he should hold his peace
And be silent, and not call him the son of David, at least; nor ask any thing of him:

but he cried the more a great deal:
he lifted up his voice more loudly, and repeated the same words quicker and oftener, and with greater vehemency and importunity:

thou son of David, have mercy on me; (See Gill on Matthew 20:31).

Mark 10:48 In-Context

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!"

49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call him forward." They called the blind man, "Be encouraged! Get up! He's calling you."

50 Throwing his coat to the side, he jumped up and came to Jesus.
