Episode Synopsis

Jesus enters Jericho as He continues His journey towards Jerusalem for His passion. He encounters a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, who sees Jesus for who He truly is and cries out to Him for mercy. Utterly dependent on Him, Bartimaeus asks to regain his sight. Jesus restores Bartimaeus' sight because of his faith in Him, and in gratitude Bartimaeus follows Jesus into Jerusalem. In stark contrast to the disciples of Jesus, Bartimaeus exemplifies what true discipleship looks like.
