In this encounter, pay close attention to what Jesus didn’t do. He didn’t give Bartimaeus a Bible verse, a lesson, or a lecture. He didn’t chastise him, shame him, or shake a divine finger in his general direction. He didn’t talk to the crowd, make an example, tell a heartfelt story, or pray out loud. Instead, Jesus asked blind Bartimaeus a question: What do you want me to do for you?
