They were leaving Jericho when Bartimaeus started in. It was Jesus, His disciples and a large crowd that were passing the cloaked blind beggar when he heard that Name mentioned (Mark 10:35-52). And my, did he start yelling! "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" A bunch of them tried to shut him up, but he only screamed louder: "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
What a scene! The whole caravan had to stop as Jesus called the intruder to Him. When Jesus asked what he wanted, Bartimaeus instantly said, "Rabbi, I want to see." So see he did, after Jesus told him that his faith had made him well.

But this faith - I think you'd have to call it desperate. Bartimaeus would cause a ruckus, stop a caravan, or whatever it took. He wanted to see!
Lord give us more faith - even the desperate kind. Let us see You.
