Lessons for the Leader Session at a Glance Jesus and Bartimaeus

Week of January 23, 2011
Lessons for the Leader
Doctors performed a miraculous eye surgery on a
young man legally blind from birth. The man could
see for the first time. Happiness and joy shone on
the young boy's face. The miracle was life changing.
•Read Mark 10:46-47. As Jesus left Jericho, He
encountered a beggar. What was the beggar's
name? Begging from travelers at the roadside
was probably the man's daily custom. Blind men
had few options for earning a living. Chances are
Bartimaeus (BAHR tih MEE uhs) had heard about
Jesus and His work. What did Bartimaeus cry out
to Jesus?
•Read Mark 10:48. The crowd heard the cry of
mercy, but demonstrated none. The crowd heard
the plea, but tried to deny help. The crowd
wanted to speed Jesus along while ignoring the
roadside nuisance.
•Read Mark 10:49-50. Jesus stood still, both
stopping the crowd and silencing the critics. He
asked to speak with the beggar. What did the
crowd say to the blind man? Bartimaeus tossed
aside a garment and rose. Imagine the blind
beggar feeling for the help of the people around
him. Bartimaeus came to Jesus.
•Read Mark 10:51-52. What did Jesus ask
Bartimaeus? How did Bartimaeus answer? The
word Jesus used to tell Bartimaeus he could see
(sozo) can be translated "to save." Jesus gave
Bartimaeus sight. However, Bartimaeus's healing
may have been both physical and spiritual.
•Think about the needs of the children you teach
and of other families in your church or community.
How can you and your church minister to them?
When we minister to a child, we show God's love
to that child. Our loving example may help a
family understand God's love for them.
What do these symbols mean?

Jesus left the city of Jericho. Walking with Him

A man named Bartimaeus sat by the side of the
road. Bartimaeus was blind—he could not see.
Because he could not see, he could not work.
When he heard people walking by on the road,
he would ask them for money.
Bartimaeus heard a large crowd of people
walking by. He heard that one of the people was
Jesus. Bartimaeus began to shout, "Jesus, help
me!"
Many people told Bartimaeus to be quiet.
Bartimaeus would not be quiet. He yelled as
loud as he could, "Jesus, help me!"
Jesus heard Bartimaeus. Jesus said, "Bring him
to Me." The people told the blind man, "Get up.
Jesus is calling you."
Bartimaeus tossed his coat to one side. He
jumped up and went to Jesus. Jesus asked him,
"What do you want Me to do for you?"
Bartimaeus answered, "I want to be able to see."
Jesus said to Bartimaeus, "You believe I can heal
you. Now you can see."
It was a miracle! At once, Bartimaeus could see.
He was no longer blind. Jesus had healed him.
As Jesus and the crowd began to walk again,

to stand in the room. Bartimaeus will call out, 'Jesus!' The rest of us will
answer, 'Jesus heals!' Bartimaeus will continue to call out as everyone
answers until he tags someone. Everyone remember to not move."
•Blindfold the child tagged and play again.
•Give each child a turn at being Bartimaeus.

with Bartimaeus? (blind) Today, we'll learn about a man who was hurt when
he was 3 years old and the doctors could not stop him from going blind.
The doctors couldn't heal this boy like Jesus healed Bartimaeus."
•Read the information about Louis Braille.
•Ask: "What body part do we use to read? (eyes) Blind people cannot use
their eyes to read, but with Louis's new alphabet, blind people can read
with their fingers! Louis used raised dots to create a language that blind
people can feel with their fingers, thus allowing them to read."
