“Blind Bartimaeus: The Rest of the Story”

Matthew 20: 30: “And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, ‘Lord have mercy on us, Son of David!” We all know the story of Blind Bartimaeus, the beggar from Jericho whom Jesus healed as recorded by Mark and Luke. But now, from the pen of Matthew, the rest of the story: Blind Bart had a silent partner! With Jesus you always get more than you expect: you get the rest of the story!
