How it works
The Bible tells us about a man named Bartimaeus. He could not see, so he sat by the road near Jericho with his cloak spread out, and people dropped coins onto it.
One day he heard that Jesus was passing by with a big crowd. He shouted for mercy, and many people told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the louder.
Jesus stopped and said to call him. Bartimaeus threw off his cloak, jumped up and went to Jesus.
He asked to see, and his eyes opened. Then he followed Jesus along the road.
