Meaning of bartimeo by JOHN





JOHN

bartimeo
  24

BARTIMEO Jimeno Álvarez has narrated in detail the history of BARTIMEO. We can add that in Hebrew bar means son, and thus bar mitzvah is son of duty, in whom young people became at age 13 (equivalent to christian first communion). Bar timaeus is the son of honor, but honor in Hebrew is called kavod, so it may be an abbreviation of Timothy, or that derives from the Greek timaios, 'valuable, honored' in the sense of one who is highly esteemed ('time', from which esteem derives, estimated), and has been taken from the writings of Plato (s). V to . c . ) . In Judaism being blind was considered a punishment from God, for he was forbidden to read the Torah. By returning Jesus' sight, Bar Timaeus can follow God. Bar Timaeus mentions Jesus for the first time in the Old Testament as a descendant of David, which makes him presume to be the son of God, as the prophets had announced the Messiah as someone of David's lineage. The fact that Bar Timaeus designates Jesus as the son of David automatically defines him as a Jew, for only a Jew could call him that. In addition to rising from the ground to approach Jesus, Bar Timaeus detaches himself from his outer robe, probably his talit, a typical mantle of the Jews.
