Mark 10:52

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:32-52

C. The third passion prediction and its lessons 10:32-52This is the last time Jesus told His disciples that He was going to die and rise again as He approached Jerusalem. Each time Jesus gave them more information than He had given before. The first time the disciples reacted violently (Mark 8:32). The second time they did not understand what He meant and were afraid to ask Him for an explanation (Mark 9:32). This time Mark recorded no reaction to His announcement except that an argument about... read more

3. The healing of a blind man near Jericho 10:46-52 (cf. Matthew 20:29-34; Luke 18:35-43)Mark probably included this incident in his Gospel because it illustrates how Jesus would open the spiritual eyes of His disciples that were still shut (cf. Mark 8:22-26). This is the last healing miracle that Mark recorded."This second account of the blind being healed (see Mark 8:22-26 for the first account) concludes this central section of Mark (Mark 8:27 to Mark 10:52) and serves as ’bookends’ of this... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 10:51-52

Jesus’ question allowed Bartimaeus to articulate his faith and made personal contact with him. "Rabboni" is an emphatic personal form of "rabbi" meaning "my lord and master" (cf. John 20:16). Jesus healed him instantly with a word attributing his healing to his faith. His faith was its means, not its cause. The Greek word translated "made well" or "healed" is sesoken, meaning "saved.""What was happening in the man’s body was really, we may presume (Mark 10:47-48), but the outward picture of... read more

The Question of Divorce. The Rich Young Man. Blind Bartimæus1-12. The question of divorce (Matthew 19:3). See on that passage, and on Matthew 5:32.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 10:46-52

(46-52) And they came to Jericho.—See Notes on Matthew 20:29-34. St. Mark agrees with St. Matthew in placing the miracle as the disciples were leaving Jericho, and differs from him in speaking of one blind man only, and in giving his name.Blind Bartimæus.—Better, as giving the same order as the Greek, the son of Timœus, Bartimœus, a blind beggar was sitting by the wayside begging. The later MSS. have the definite article before “blind,” as though he were well known and conspicuous. It is... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 10:52

(52) Followed Jesus in the way.—We may reasonably infer from this that Bartimæus was one of those who went up with the travelling company to Jerusalem. The prominence which St. Mark gives to his name suggests the thought that he afterwards became more or less conspicuous in the Church of the Circumcision, his new-found gift of sight qualifying him to take his place among the eye-witnesses of the things that were done in the ensuing week. In the Apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus he appears as one... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 10:1-52

The Directing of the Early Mind Mark 10:13 I. 'That He should touch them' not simply 'that they should touch Him'. This latter was quite unnecessary. Touching is the metaphor for influence. There was no difficulty in the heart of Jesus being touched by the children; but it was extremely difficult to arrange that the heart of the children should be touched by Jesus. II. It is easy for the developed mind to understand the child the developed mind has itself been a child and retains a memoir of... read more

CHAPTER 10:46-52 (Mark 10:46-52)BARTIMAEUS"And they come to Jericho: and as He went out from Jericho, with His disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still,... read more
