Study Preparation and Discussion Questions - Mark 10.46-52
Jesus Heals a Blind Beggar
Recommended Preparation
1) Mark 10.46-52
2) Mark For Everyone
Discussion Questions
1) On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus and his disciples come to Jericho, where Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, shouts at them. What does Bartimaeus want from Jesus?
2) What does Jesus mean by the question he asks Bartimaeus in return (vv. 49-52)?
3) How do Bartimaeus's actions stand in contrast to the disciples' in the last couple of chapters?
4) How does Bartimaeus compare with the rich young ruler? Do you think Mark nearly juxtaposed these two stories for a reason?
