As blind Bartimaeus sat begging, he heard voices of an excited crowd. Someone told him they were following Jesus.
He might have heard how Jesus healed some lepers and multiplied loaves and fishes.
He might have heard how Jesus walked on water.
He might have heard how Jesus restored sight to other blind men.
Maybe Bartimaeus said, “If Jesus can do all these things, maybe He can heal me too.” So he cried out for healing.
Mark 10:51-52 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Faith in Jesus is mighty powerful.
