Abstrakt

This article presents a narrative exegesis of Mark 10:46–52, the healing of Bartimaeus, interpreted as a paradigmatic story of discipleship. Using narratological methodology, particularly the model of James L. Resseguie, the study examines narrative structure, characterization, setting, rhetoric, and perspective. The analysis demonstrates that the episode functions not only as a miracle story but also as a revelation narrative in which Bartimaeus emerges as a model disciple. His faith, expressed through perseverance, recognition of Jesus’ identity, and immediate following, contrasts sharply with the misunderstanding of the disciples. The pericope thus reveals that true sight means recognizing Jesus and following him on the way of the Cross.
