A Request by the Son of Timaeus

Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”

Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.

“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked.

“Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”

“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

The son of Timaeus did not have to talk Jesus into healing him. He did not have to prove he was needy, or worthy, or that he was a good candidate for a new set of eyes. He called out to Jesus. Jesus asked him what he wanted, he told Him, he received what he asked for. Jesus told him that his faith healed him.

If you need something, ask for faith, then ask for what you need. Then enjoy it. If you don’t get it, ask Him what to do differently and do that. Then enjoy it.
