Mark 10:52

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 10:52

OPENED EYES‘Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.’ Mark 10:52 Bartimæus sat by the wayside, and he made no step of advance towards the Holy City; but when he had obtained mercy and the gift for which he asked he followed Christ, and that brought him to Jerusalem. So now many souls in poverty and blindness halt on the way, far from the heavenly Jerusalem. I. The Incarnation has brought the Son of God into touch with human life and human needs, that souls, blind and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:1-52

Jesus Begins His Final Journey to Jerusalem On The Road To The Cross and Spends Much Time in Teaching His Disciples And Disputing With His Enemies In Readiness For That Event, For He Is Giving His Life As A Ransom For Many (9:33-12:44). Having returned to Capernaum Jesus now has His face set towards Jerusalem, and in Mark 9:33-50 He will lay the foundation by pointing out the fact that all must look to and respond to His Name, and the dangers inherent in not doing so. Then He will advance into... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:46-52

Jesus Approaches Jerusalem and Enters It As A Proclamation Of Who He Is, Cleanses The Temple, Depicts Its Coming Demise By Means Of The Withering of The Fig Tree, Enters Into Dispute With His Opponents, And Reveals Them As Those Who Are Like Faithless Tenants Of A Vineyard Rejecting Even The Son (10:46-12:12). Along with the festal crowds proceeding to the Passover in Jerusalem along the Jericho Road Jesus now passes through Jericho on the way to Jerusalem, which He intends to enter as the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:52

‘And immediately he received his sight and followed him in the way.’ He was immediately healed. Jesus had said “Go your way”, but instead he followed Jesus. There seems little doubt that this means fully what it says. From now on he was a disciple of Jesus, which explains why his name and that of his father were well known to Mark. There is probably therefore a double meaning here, that he also received his spiritual sight and was saved, and thus followed Jesus. The significance of the event is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 10:46-52

Mark 10:46-1 Thessalonians : . Blind Bartimæ us.— This story is remarkable for the use of the Messianic title, “ Son of David,” which Jesus does not reject. Critics have taken this as evidence that the reserve about the Messianic claim of Jesus was no longer being practised. But the blind beggar might have jumped to the conclusion, without any change of attitude on the part of the disciples, and his use of the term would not necessarily exert great influence. Certainly from now on Jesus does... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 10:46-52

This history is a mere narrative of a matter of fact, in the relation of which no difficulties occur which stand in need of explication. Matthew, Mark, and Luke relate it with but two considerable differences. Matthew mentions two blind men, the other two evangelists but one. It is probable the one was the more remarkable, and his father a person of some note, therefore he is mentioned also; the other probably some obscurer person. Luke reports it done, as he was come nigh unto Jericho; Matthew... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Mark 10:46-52

The Blind Beggar August 7th, 1859 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 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 charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 10:1-52

Mark's gospel chapter 10:And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he wont [was accustomed], he taught them again ( Mark 10:1 ).Now, Jesus is leaving the area of the Galilee for the last time. He is on His way to Jerusalem to be crucified. He knows this. He presently will be telling the disciples this. They still do not understand; it's still, to them, a mystery. But yet, it's very clear in the mind... read more
