STRONGS NT 924: Βαρτιμαῖος

Βαρτιμαῖος (Tdf. Βαρτιμαῖος, yet cf. Chandler § 253), Βαρτιμαιου, (son of Timaeus), Bartimaeus, a certain blind man: Mark 10:46.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From Aramaic בַּר (bar) meaning "son" and Τιμαῖος (Timaios), a personal name.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The name Βαρτιμαῖος is derived from the Aramaic word בַּר (bar, Strong's Hebrew 1247), meaning "son." There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Τιμαῖος, as it is a Greek name.

Usage: The name Βαρτιμαῖος appears in the New Testament as the name of a blind beggar whom Jesus heals.

Context: Βαρτιμαῖος, or Bartimaeus, is a significant figure in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Mark. He is introduced in Mark 10:46-52, where he is described as a blind beggar sitting by the roadside near Jericho. As Jesus and His disciples, along with a large crowd, were leaving the city, Bartimaeus called out to Jesus, addressing Him as "Son of David," a messianic title, and pleaded for mercy. Despite being rebuked by the crowd, Bartimaeus persisted in his cries for help.

Jesus stopped and called for Bartimaeus to be brought to Him. When asked by Jesus what he wanted, Bartimaeus replied, "Rabboni, I want to see." Jesus responded, "Go, your faith has healed you." Immediately, Bartimaeus received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

This account highlights several key themes: the recognition of Jesus' messianic identity, the power of persistent faith, and the compassion of Jesus. Bartimaeus' story is often cited as an example of faith that overcomes obstacles and receives divine intervention.
