Bartimus
Bartimus
Bartimus or Bartimeus (br’ti-m’us), son of Timeus. A blind man whose sight was restored by our Lord, when in the neighborhood of Jericho. Mar 10:45-52. If this narrative be compared with Mat 20:29-34; Luk 18:35-43, some differences appear. For Matthew speaks of two blind men. According to some writers, our Lord healed one of these (as in Luke) on entering Jericho, and another (Bartimeus, as in Mark) on leaving it; and Matthew has, with characteristic brevity in recording miracles, combined both these in one.
