Mark 10:46-52 (Amplified)
Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, a son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside.
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity and mercy on me [now]!
And many severely censured and reproved him, telling him to keep still, but he kept on shouting out all the more, You Son of David, have pity and mercy on me [now]!
And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you.
And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus.
And Jesus said to him, What do you want Me to do for you? And the blind man said to Him, Master, let me receive my sight.
And Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has healed you. And at once he received his sight and accompanied Jesus on the road.
In this passage, Blind Bart couldn't see Jesus in the natural - he had to hear about Him. Bart was a beggar - he was used to people walking past him, ignoring him, perhaps tossing a coin or two in his direction without really seeing him.
When Jesus walks down the street and sees this elegantly be-robed chap grinning joyfully; the scribe does a double take - say, thinking, don't I recognise that face. Then as it dawns on him; he realises the bright eyed face belongs to Bart - the guy he'd flipped a couple of coins to that very morning - how good his charity had felt as under the approving gaze of his peers. Now that sinner was healed, and dressed in finery; this Jesus was overturning the very order of society!
Like the Prodigal's brother, the establishment was angry; in the parable the Prodigal's brother was mad; his father dressed his way-ward brother in fine robes and killed the fatted calf; hadn't he the loyal son, stayed, obeyed, and worked hard? Why didn't he experience this unusual [supernatural] treatment?
Likewise Jesus saved and healed; hadn't the Scribes and the Pharisees worked at keeping the laws precepts all their lives; didn't they deserve approval and validation for their work; but Jesus took sinners and gave them instant notoriety - healing them; forgiving them; caring for them; rewarding them; where - in the eyes of the establishment was justice?
Bart was now part of the team - his begging days were over Jesus was taking care of his needs; Jesus still wants to clothe and feed us; to heal us; to meet all our material needs; all our emotional needs; all our spiritual needs.
While Bart probably received a new suit of clothes from Jesus' purse - he certainly and more importantly he received new spiritual clothes through faith.
Paul talks about this process, he calls us to take off the old nature [our beggars robes] and put on the new man [our robes of righteousness].
It's a conscious process - through the spirit, by prayer - we order our thoughts, then our words and our deeds reflect the new order - the new man; we speak the Word - so our faith is validated - so the natural is changed. We avoid listening to the world and talking the world's negative language - which creates only evil.
