Gospel Note:
For his last report of a healing prior to Jesus' dramatic and
final trip to Jerusalem, Mark describes the case of Bartimaeus.
Positioned as it is immediately after yet another incident in
which the disciples have shown their own "blindness" to their
master and his message, Mark here apparently wants to suggest
more than the need for physical visual acuity when he reports
that the healed Bartimaeus then followed Jesus "on the way."
