A blind beggar named Bartimaeus yells loudly to get Jesus' attention. Jesus stops to heal his eyesight, causing the man to follow Jesus. The crowd, however, was less welcoming to Bartimaeus, telling him to "shush." Jonathan and Seth talk about who they connect with in the text. They also discuss how society ordinarily treats beggars at a roadside. They talk about the connections between this text and last week's (which immediately precedes it in Mark), but listening to last week's episode is not required.
