Bartimaeus was a blind beggar at Jericho, son of a man named Timaeus, whose sight Jesus restored after Bartimaeus called out to him as Son of David (Mark 10:46-52). His persistence despite the crowd's attempts to silence him is presented as an example of faith. The parallel account in Matthew 20:30 mentions two unnamed blind men, while Luke 18:35 places the healing as Jesus approached rather than left the city.
