Text. 8 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,500 So we're looking at the literal sense of scripture from a 9 00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,200 Catholic perspective, from a perspective. 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,900 That's faithful to the teaching of the church. 11 00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:41,000 And also is helping you understand what contemporary 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,200 Scholars are saying about the very words of scripture. 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,400 So, we're really doing an in-depth study of the text of 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,600 scripture.

That is the son of Timaeus. 33 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,200 A blind beggar, we're sitting at the side of the road when he 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,200 heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout and 35 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,100 to say son of David, Jesus have pity on me. 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,000 And many of them, scolded him and told him to keep quiet, but 37 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,600 he only shouted all the louder, son of David have pity on me. 38 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Jesus, stopped and said, call him here. 39 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,000 So, they called the blind, man, courage. 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,100 They said get up, he is calling you. 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,900 So, throwing off his cloak, he jumped up and went to Jesus, 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,400 then Jesus spoke. What do you want me to do for 43 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,800 you Robin? I the blind man said to him 44 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Master. Let me see you again. 45 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,300 Jesus said to him, go your faith has saved you and immediately 46 00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:39,700 his sight returned and he followed him along the road. 47 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,400 So what's the context of today's passage? 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,300 So Jesus is on the way to Jerusalem for the last week of 49 00:02:47,308 --> 00:02:49,500 his life on the road to Jerusalem. 50 00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:52,800 He's been teaching his disciples about his own upcoming death, 51 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,300 and also about the importance of suffering in the Christian Life, 52 00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,000 which was in the previous passage. 53 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,600 So we get to verse 46 today. Now, the lectionary actually 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,200 takes out an important phrase here because it may not be 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,600 necessary to Proclaim it as part of today's reading. 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,500 But there is actually a phrase here at the start of verse 46, 57 00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,500 which is as They came to Jericho. 58 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,900 So the coming into Jericho and this is a town that was quite 59 00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:22,200 close to Jerusalem. It's 17 miles Northeast of 60 00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:25,900 Jerusalem and it was the first city captured in the Holy Land 61 00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:28,300 in the Book of Joshua. So, it's quite a famous city 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,400 from an Old Testament perspective. 63 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000 It's a major city at the time and it's still there today. 64 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,400 In fact, it appears to be the oldest continuously inhabited 65 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,200 city in the world. Jesus does spend some time in 66 00:03:41,208 --> 00:03:44,300 Jericho and And we know that in particular, he stays with 67 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:48,400 Zacchaeus in Jericho, but that's not narrated in Mark's gospel. 68 00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:53,200 So we starting it verse 46 today, and it says, as Jesus 69 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600 left Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd. 70 00:03:56,900 --> 00:04:00,300 So, Jesus is finished in Jericho with Zacchaeus, and now, he's on 71 00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:03,300 his way out and there's a large crowd following him, or a 72 00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,900 multitude, as some translations, put it, this would probably 73 00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:10,100 include Jesus, disciples and followers, but possibly also 74 00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:13,200 some Passover pilgrims as well. There's a whole heap of people 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,899 with Jesus and we're introduced to this person called Bartimaeus 76 00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,500 and more literally, what that means, there is the son of 77 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:25,600 Timaeus, whenever you see bar in the New Testament, be a are it 78 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,600 means son of so Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus. 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,200 Who is a blind beggar? Now if you were blind in that 80 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,100 culture, particularly if you're a man, you're almost certain to 81 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,200 be poor because you can't get work. 82 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,700 And your family might have been in you to, which appears to have 83 00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:43,000 happened. To Bartimaeus. 84 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,300 Oh, he's very much an out, an outsider in society, and he's 85 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,500 sitting at the side of the road. So, he's sitting at this quite 86 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,100 important, major highway from Jericho to Jerusalem in the 87 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,600 hopes that people walking by would give him money. 88 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,600 So he's a blind beggar. He needs money verse 47. 89 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,800 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth. 90 00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:07,100 So here's that there's some sort of commotion going past and he 91 00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,400 learns that it's Jesus of Nazareth and based on what he's 92 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,000 heard, he believes that this This Jesus is the Messiah, so he 93 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,200 began to shout. Why is he shouting well? 94 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Because remember, there's a large crowd Around Jesus and so 95 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000 he's hoping that Jesus will hear him over the crowd. 96 00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,500 He probably can't find Jesus himself. 97 00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,800 So, he's just yelling in the hopes that Jesus might hear him 98 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,700 over the crowd, and this is what he says, son of David. 99 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,800 Jesus have pity on me. So bottom is has heard of Jesus 100 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,600 and his power, and he's probably already heard that Jesus can 101 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,300 heal blind people. So he's hoping he's hoping so 102 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,700 much that Jesus might have pity on him and heal him as well, 103 00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:51,500 think about the desperation that Bartimaeus would have here, 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,900 notice, he calls, Jesus, Son of David. 105 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,800 So that was a Messianic title, which acknowledged basically the 106 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Jesus is the long-awaited kingly Messiah. 107 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,700 Interestingly some Jewish Traditions at this time. 108 00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,500 Leave the Messiah would be able to heal the sick and exorcise 109 00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,800 demons. That's in Isaiah chapter 29, 110 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,400 Verse 18. It hints that the Messiah might 111 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,600 be able to do that. So the blind man believes Jesus 112 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,100 is the Messiah. Interestingly he sees Jesus 113 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,700 identity more clearly than the rest of the crowd does because 114 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400 it seems the rest of the crowd just tells him to quiet down and 115 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,100 they're not really understanding who Jesus is. 116 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,700 In fact, he sees Jesus identity more clearly than most people in 117 00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:38,100 the gospel of Mark 2. Now, later on, as Jesus is about 118 00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:40,700 to enter Jerusalem, when he's on the Mount of Olives, the 119 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,900 multitude does call him son of David. 120 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:45,700 So certainly some people recognize it, we see that in 121 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:50,600 Luke chapter, 19, So here he says, son of David have pity on 122 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,700 me or more. Literally have mercy on me. 123 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,400 He believes that Jesus is the Messiah can heal him but maybe 124 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,800 he feels Unworthy of it. He feels that Jesus would need 125 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,300 to take pity on him in order to heal him. 126 00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:05,900 This is the same as what the ten lepers call out to Jesus in. 127 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:11,000 Luke 17, have pity on us. Verse 48, many of them, scolded 128 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,800 him and told him to keep quiet. Why do they tell blind 129 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,600 Bartimaeus to keep quiet? Well, they're probably just 130 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,700 looking at this blind beggar and they know that this blind beggar 131 00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:24,300 is at the bottom of the social ladder, and they probably don't 132 00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:28,400 feel that he's worthy of interrupting, the great Jesus, 133 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,900 and clearly his not liked in the town, it would seem It could 134 00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,500 also be though that it's not just the crowd in general, 135 00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:39,400 telling him to be quiet. Maybe it's Jesus own Apostles, 136 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:41,700 telling him to be quiet, which would not be good. 137 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:44,300 But we know that they do have a habit of doing this. 138 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,600 They have a habit of sending people away from Jesus when they 139 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600 really shouldn't. Previously. 140 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,400 They've already told people to keep the children away from 141 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,300 Jesus. And of course, Jesus says, bring 142 00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:58,000 the children to me. So some people are telling 143 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,200 Bartimaeus to stop calling out, but he only shouted, all the 144 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,900 louder, son of David have pity. Tommy, as we'll see here, his 145 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,800 persistence is what gains him a hearing with, Jesus verse 49, 146 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,700 Jesus stopped and said, call him here. 147 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,900 Now, why doesn't Jesus go to the man himself? 148 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,400 Which he could do, there's a possible, a few possible 149 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,800 explanations here. Maybe Jesus wants the crowds who 150 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,500 previously don't want Bartimaeus to contact. 151 00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,600 Jesus, maybe he wants to change the hearts of the crowd. 152 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,600 By getting the crowd involved. He's telling the crowd to go and 153 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200 get Bartimaeus, maybe he's trying to get the crowd to 154 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,100 realize his own identity here. So, the crowd called the blind, 155 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:44,400 man, courage, they said get up. He is calling you. 156 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,000 It's quite a beautiful line, isn't it? 157 00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:50,400 You can also translate this take heart rise, he is calling you. 158 00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:53,600 And, in a sense, this is the call to all people to come to. 159 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,400 Jesus, Take heart. He is calling you. 160 00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,900 Verse 50. So, throwing off his cloak or he 161 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:04,000 can translate this his mantle and this could represent leaving 162 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000 behind the former life which is what people do when they become 163 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,900 Christian, they leave behind their former life. 164 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:13,600 He throws off his cloak and he jumped up and went to Jesus. 165 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,600 So, clearly this man Bartimaeus is a model of enthusiastic and 166 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,300 decisive faith. He comes to Jesus, and then 167 00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:25,100 Jesus says to him, what do you want me to do for you? 168 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:29,100 This is the same question. He asked James and John earlier 169 00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:32,200 in the chapter when they came to him, it's an interesting phrase, 170 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,700 isn't it? What do you want me to do for 171 00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:35,000 you? Because you would think it would 172 00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:39,400 be obvious, maybe Jesus already knows, but he wants Bartimaeus 173 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,500 to actively ask and to participate in his own healing. 174 00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:45,600 That's possible. And the blind man says to him 175 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,400 for abunai and that means, great teacher. 176 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,600 Let me see you again. Or more literally, let me 177 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,100 receive my sight. So he calls him a Brunei or 178 00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:58,000 Master. Let me receive my sight. 179 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000 It's he's been quite reverent to Jesus and he's asking, can you 180 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,800 give him my sight, back verse 52. 181 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,100 Jesus said to him, go, your faith has saved you, or you can 182 00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:10,800 translate this, your faith has made you well. 183 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,800 So the word here for saved can also be translated healed, 184 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,500 apparently, Jesus doesn't touch him here. 185 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:20,800 He just says the word go. Your faith has saved you. 186 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,900 You. So this in a sense is a very 187 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:25,400 real fulfillment of Jesus own mission. 188 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800 Mandate. Remember what he said in the 189 00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:31,400 synagogue at Nazareth, I have come to bring recovery of sight 190 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,200 to the blind. That's in Luke chapter 4 here. 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,700 That's very much fulfilled. And he says, to them in your 192 00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:41,400 faith has saved you and I remember the Greek word Sozo can 193 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,100 mean he'll or save. So let's assume that it means 194 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,100 your faith has healed you. Because the blind man 195 00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:51,100 acknowledged who Jesus was and he believed that Jesus had the 196 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:55,700 power to heal him in that sense, Bartimaeus is faith has sat has 197 00:10:55,700 --> 00:10:58,200 saved him because he believed that Jesus could heal him. 198 00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:01,900 But it could also mean that Jesus has saved him spiritually, 199 00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:04,900 that's the same thing. He said to the woman with the 200 00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,900 Hemorrhage, remember some Maybe both things that in view here, 201 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,100 physical healing and spiritual healing at the same time and 202 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:15,700 immediately his sight returned. So this is an image of what 203 00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:17,500 happens to every Christian. A baptism. 204 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:19,700 The eyes of their heart are enlightened. 205 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,600 So this encounter between Bartimaeus and Jesus is in many 206 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,800 ways, a good model of a new purse, a nun, a non-Christian 207 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,200 coming to Jesus and becoming a new Christian. 208 00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,800 Not only do you see be healed though? 209 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,200 He followed Jesus. Along the road. 210 00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:38,700 So Bartimaeus is healed on the spot and immediately he follows 211 00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:41,400 Jesus, unlike the ten lepers actually. 212 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,100 Interestingly he's the only person healed by Jesus. 213 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:48,800 Who is given a name in The Gospel of Mark and that suggests 214 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,300 he might have been quite well known in the early church. 215 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,100 Now Luke's version of this tells us that the all the on look is, 216 00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:58,200 praise God as a result. So there's a very good outcome 217 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,900 here. The people see what happens and 218 00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:04,000 they praised God. Interestingly let's think about 219 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,500 what Mark has done throughout his entire Narrative of the 220 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:11,500 Gospel, at the beginning of the journey to Jerusalem in the 221 00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:15,100 gospel of Mark. It was preceded by the healing 222 00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:17,900 of a blind man of bethsaida that was in chapter 8, but it was 223 00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:22,800 only a gradual healing that took a few stages to heal him one. 224 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,400 Now at the end of The Journey as he is just about to enter 225 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,700 Jerusalem, there's a complete healing of another blind, man. 226 00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:30,700 So it's possible that Mark has bracketed. 227 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000 The Jesus Journey here with the healing of two different Blind 228 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,900 Men. Maybe to symbolize the Journey 229 00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:40,400 of the disciples in terms of them, gradually, understanding 230 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400 Jesus mission more, that's a possible interpretation. 231 00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:46,200 So that's the end of Mark chapter 10. 232 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,300 The very next thing that happens at the start of Mark, chapter 11 233 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,900 is the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. 234 00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:57,300 So you can hear that at Mass on Palm Sunday in year be, but you 235 00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:59,400 won't hear it as a weekday reading. 236 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,800 Let's turn to the catechism and there's two paragraphs, which 237 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,700 make reference to blind Bartimaeus. 238 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,800 Paragraph 2616, this is in the section about prayer and it's a 239 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,400 really interesting paragraph teaches us about a famous 240 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,900 Catholic prayer, which actually comes straight out of here. 241 00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:20,500 Mark, chapter 10 prayer to Jesus is answered by him. 242 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:24,000 Already during his ministry through signs, that anticipate 243 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,200 the power of his death and Resurrection, Jesus, he is the 244 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,400 prayer of faith expressed in words, by the Gyrus the 245 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,700 Canaanite woman and the good thief or in Silence. 246 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400 The bearers of the paralytic, the woman with the Hemorrhage 247 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,000 who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful 248 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,400 woman. The Urgent request of the blind, 249 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,900 man, have mercy on us. Son of David, or Jesus Son of 250 00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:50,300 David. Have mercy on me has been 251 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:53,400 renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus known as the 252 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,000 Jesus prayer. Lord! 253 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Jesus Christ, Son of God. Have mercy on me a sinner 254 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,900 healing. Irma, teas or forgiving sins. 255 00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,100 Jesus always responds to a prayer. 256 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:07,600 Offered in faith. Your faith has made you well go 257 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,700 in peace. So that famous Jesus prayer. 258 00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:13,900 Basically comes from this passage in Mark and other 259 00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:18,700 similar ones where weather, but Emmaus is son of David have 260 00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:21,700 mercy on me, we can pray the same prayer as Catholics 261 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,300 paragraph. 548 is about the kingdom of God. 262 00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:29,400 The signs worked by Jesus a test that the father has sent him. 263 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:32,800 They Right. Belief in him to those who turn 264 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,200 to him in faith, he grants what they ask. 265 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,800 So Miracle strengthen faith in the one who does his father's 266 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,200 works by Bayer, they bear witness that he is the son of 267 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,800 God. Thanks for listening today. 268 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,900 I hope you learned something new will continue in Mark in the 269 00:14:47,908 --> 00:14:48,700 coming days.
