Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, sitting along the road as Jesus passes through Jericho. When Bartimaeus hears that Jesus is near, he cries out loudly for mercy, calling Him the “Son of David.” Despite being rebuked by the crowd, he persists in faith. Jesus stops, calls for him, and asks what he wants. Bartimaeus boldly responds that he wants to see. Jesus heals him, affirming that his faith has made him well. Immediately restored, Bartimaeus follows Jesus along the road, demonstrating how persistent faith leads to both healing and wholehearted discipleship.
