Jesus and his disciples went to Jericho. And as they were leaving, they were followed by a large crowd. A blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeus son of Timaeus was sitting beside the road. When he heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth, he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” Many people told the man to stop, but he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over!”
They called out to the blind man and said, “Don’t be afraid! Come on! He is calling for you.” The man threw off his coat as he jumped up and ran to Jesus.
Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
The blind man answered, “Master, I want to see!”
Jesus told him, “You may go. Your eyes are healed because of your faith.”
Right away the man could see, and he went down the road with Jesus.
Mark 10:46-52

Jesus is born
Baptized in the Jordan
Water into wine
Lowered through the roof
Born again
Calling first disciples
Jesus’ manifesto
Salt of the earth
Rock and sand
Don’t judge others
A log in your eye
Where the seed fell
Calming a storm
The man in the graveyard
Jairus’ daughter
The woman in the crowd
Feeding 5,000 people
Walking on water
The real neighbour
Rich… but stupid
One of our sheep is missing
Lost and found
Welcome home
A slave to two masters
Gaining the whole world
Jesus is transfigured
A boy with epilepsy
Mustard seed faith
Pride and humility
Camels and needles
Blind Bartimaeus
Riding into Jerusalem
I am the way
The last supper
Show me the money
Sheep and goats
Love each other
On trial before Pilate
The crucifixion
