Mark 10:47

47 qui cum audisset quia Iesus Nazarenus est coepit clamare et dicere Fili David Iesu miserere mei

Mark 10:47 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:47

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth
"That passed by", as reads the Persic version; which he might learn, by inquiring the meaning of such a multitude of people, and the noise; or he might hear his name frequently mentioned, and it said, that, he, was coming, or passing by:

he began to cry out;
aloud, and with great vehemency, and often repeating it:

and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me:
he did not call him Jesus of Nazareth, as the common people did, but Jesus, the son of David, a title of the Messiah; nor did he ask for money, but for mercy; (See Gill on Matthew 20:30).

Mark 10:47 In-Context

45 nam et Filius hominis non venit ut ministraretur ei sed ut ministraret et daret animam suam redemptionem pro multis

46 et veniunt Hierichum et proficiscente eo de Hiericho et discipulis eius et plurima multitudine filius Timei Bartimeus caecus sedebat iuxta viam mendicans

47 qui cum audisset quia Iesus Nazarenus est coepit clamare et dicere Fili David Iesu miserere mei

48 et comminabantur illi multi ut taceret at ille multo magis clamabat Fili David miserere mei

49 et stans Iesus praecepit illum vocari et vocant caecum dicentes ei animaequior esto surge vocat te
