Contextual Overview

46 And they come to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging. 47 And when he heard, It is Jesus of Nazareth, he cried out and said, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him to hold his peace; but he cried so much the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus standing still, commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; rise; he calleth thee. 50 And casting away his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answering said to him, What wilt thou that I should do for thee? The blind man said to him, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said, Go; thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him in the way.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

they came: Matthew 20:29-34, Luke 18:35-43

as he went: Luke says that this took place "as he was come nigh unto Jericho," and afterwards records an event which took place in that city. But the words ום [Strong's G1722], פש [Strong's G3588], וםדיזוים בץפןץ [Strong's G847], ויע [Strong's G1519], וסיקש, may be rendered, "When he was nigh Jericho," which is equally true of him who is gone a little way from it, as of him who is come near it; and as it is probable that Jesus stayed some days in the neighbourhood, this might occur as he went out of the city during that time, and he might afterwards re-enter it.

begging: Luke 16:20, Luke 16:22, John 9:8, Acts 3:2, Acts 3:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 20:29-34.

Mark 10:46

Blind Bartimeus - Matthew says there were two. Mark mentions but one, though he does not deny that there was another. He mentions this man because he was well known - Bartimeus, the “blind man.”

Mark 10:50

Casting away his garment - That is, his outer garment - the one that was thrown loosely over him. See the notes at Matthew 5:40. He threw it off, full of joy at the prospect of being healed, and that he might run without impediment to Jesus. This may be used to illustrate - though it had no such original reference - the manner in which a sinner should come to Jesus. He should throw away the garments of his own righteousness - he should rise speedily - should run with joy - should have full faith in the power of Jesus, and cast himself entirely upon his mercy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 46. Blind Bartimeus — בר bar in Syriac signifies son. It appears that he was thus named because Timeus, Talmeus or Talmai, was the name of his father, and thus the son would be called Bar-talmeus, or Bartholomew. Some suppose υιος Τιμαιου, the son of Timeus, to be an interpolation. Bartimeus the son of Timeus, ο τυφλος, THE blind man. It was because he was the most remarkable that this evangelist mentions him by name, as a person probably well known in those parts.
