Mark 10:52 “And Jesus said unto him, 'Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.' And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.”
This passage from Mark chronicles the result of a man crying out to Jesus for healing, in spite of the crowd's efforts to get him to shut up. This man, Bartimaeus, not only knew that Jesus was nearby, but knew who he was, and that He had the power to heal him.
Why would Jesus make Bartimaeus repeat himself? Why didn't Jesus rebuke the crowd for trying to silence the poor blind man?
It must be that Jesus wants us to be confident in His power to heal, in His willingness to heal, and that neither rest on the opinion of the “crowd.”
