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 and whoever desires to be first among you must be the bondservant of all.

45 For the Son of Man also did not come to be waited upon, but to wait on others, and to give His life as the redemption-price for a multitude of people."

46 They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town--Himself and His disciples and a great crowd--Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the way-side.

47 Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, "Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me."

48 Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me."
