Jesus is on the final stretch of the journey to Jerusalem and His perseverance has not diminished. He is determined to finish the work that God the Father and He arranged prior to the foundation of our world. Along this journey, Jesus has healed many different people with all kinds of diseases. However, in the Synoptic Gospel passages, this is the first time when the name of the person Jesus healed is named, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus.
