SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:47
Y oyendo que era Jess el Nazareno, comenz a dar voces y decir: Jess, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 47. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth , etc..] That passed by, as reads the Persic version; which he might learn, by inquiring the meaning of such a multitude of people, and the noise; or he might hear his name frequently mentioned, and it said, that, he, was coming, or passing by: he began to cry out ; aloud, and with great vehemency, and often repeating it: and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me : he did not call him Jesus of Nazareth, as the common people did, but Jesus, the son of David, a title of the Messiah; nor did he ask for money, but for mercy; (see Gill on Matthew 20:30).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 46-52 - Bartimeus had heard of Jesus and his miracles, and learning that he wa passing by, hoped to recover his eyesight. In coming to Christ for hel and healing, we should look to him as the promised Messiah. The gracious calls Christ gives us to come to him, encourage our hope, tha if we come to him we shall have what we come for. Those who would com to Jesus, must cast away the garment of their own sufficiency, mus free themselves from every weight, and the sin that, like lon garments, most easily besets them, Heb 12:1. He begged that his eye might be opened. It is very desirable to be able to earn our bread; an where God has given men limbs and senses, it is a shame, by foolishnes and slothfulness, to make themselves, in effect, blind and lame. Hi eyes were opened. Thy faith has made thee whole: faith in Christ as the Son of David, and in his pity and power; not thy repeated words, but thy faith; Christ setting thy faith to work. Let sinners be exhorted to imitate blind Bartimeus. Where the gospel is preached, or the writte words of truth circulated, Jesus is passing by, and this is the opportunity. It is not enough to come to Christ for spiritual healing but, when we are healed, we must continue to follow him; that we ma honour him, and receive instruction from him. Those who have spiritual eyesight, see that beauty in Christ which will draw them to run afte him __________________________________________________________________
