Mark 10: 46-52 | October 21, 2021

It's the 25th Sunday after Pentecost and Jaime and Francisco explore Mark 10: 46-52. A familiar passage about the kind beggar Bartimaeus. It is a story of contrasts. How does Bartimaeus contrast with both the wealthy land-owner who could give up anything, let alone everything, to following Jesus? Whereas Bartimaeus seems ready to give up everything to be a part of Jesus' "way." Also, how does the response of Bartimaeus contrast with that of the Zebedee brothers when Jesus asks, "What is it that you want me to do for you?"
