Reading for January 17th

Read Mark 10.46-52 (Mt 20.29-34; Lk 18.35-43): Bartimaeus.
Bartimaeus means son of Timaeus; Mark explains the Aramaic formulation.
In verse 47 Son of David indicates Jesus' messianic kingship, which takes on
heightened political implications as Jesus nears Jerusalem.
In verse 48 here the crowd ironically invokes the secrecy motif.
