The Greek word used here is "ἔστη" (estē), which implies a deliberate pause. This moment highlights Jesus' attentiveness and compassion. Despite being on a journey with a crowd, Jesus halts His progress to address the needs of an individual. This reflects the personal nature of Jesus' ministry, emphasizing that He is never too busy to attend to those who call out to Him in faith.and said, 'Call him.' The directive "Call him" is a command from Jesus, using the Greek word "φωνήσατε" (phōnēsate). This is an imperative form, indicating urgency and importance. Jesus empowers those around Him to participate in His work by inviting them to bring the blind man to Him. This act of calling is symbolic of the broader Christian mission to bring others to Christ, showing that Jesus often works through His followers to reach those in need.So they called the blind man The response of the crowd is immediate. The Greek word "φωνοῦσιν" (phōnousin) is used here, which is a form of the same root as "Call him," showing obedience to Jesus' command. This reflects the communal aspect of faith, where the community plays a role in guiding individuals to Jesus. The blind man, marginalized by society, is now being acknowledged and invited into the presence of Christ, illustrating the inclusive nature of the Gospel.Take courage! The phrase "Take courage" is translated from the Greek word "θάρσει" (tharsei), which is an imperative encouraging boldness and confidence. This is a common exhortation in the New Testament, often used by Jesus to reassure those who are fearful or uncertain. It serves as a reminder that approaching Jesus requires faith and courage, and that He is a source of strength and encouragement.Get up The command "Get up" comes from the Greek word "ἔγειρε" (egeire), which means to rise or awaken. This is not just a physical action but also a spiritual awakening. It signifies a call to action, urging the blind man to move from his current state towards a transformative encounter with Jesus. This mirrors the call to spiritual awakening and renewal that Jesus offers to all believers.He is calling you The assurance "He is calling you" is deeply personal. The Greek word "φωνεῖ" (phōnei) is used here, emphasizing that Jesus' call is specific and intentional. This personal call from Jesus is a central theme in the Christian faith, where each individual is invited into a personal relationship with Christ. It underscores the idea that Jesus knows each person by name and desires a personal connection with them.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who performs miracles and teaches about the Kingdom of God. 2. <a href="/topical/b/blind_bartimaeus.htm">Blind Bartimaeus</a> A blind beggar sitting by the roadside, who calls out to Jesus for mercy. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_crowd.htm">The Crowd</a> The people following Jesus, initially rebuking Bartimaeus but later encouraging him at Jesus' command. 4. <a href="/topical/j/jericho.htm">Jericho</a> The city where this event takes place, a significant location in both Old and New Testament accounts. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_miracle.htm">The Miracle</a> The healing of Bartimaeus, which demonstrates Jesus' compassion and power.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_persistent_faith.htm">The Power of Persistent Faith</a> Bartimaeus' persistence in calling out to Jesus despite the crowd's rebuke is a model of unwavering faith.

Therefore the Lord stood, where there was a plain path by which the blind man might approach him. The crowd show their, sympathy.
