Throwing off his cloak
In the context of Mark 10:50, the phrase "throwing off his cloak" is significant both symbolically and practically. The Greek word for "cloak" is "himation," which refers to an outer garment or robe. For a blind beggar like Bartimaeus, his cloak would have been one of his most valuable possessions, providing warmth and a place to collect alms. By casting it aside, Bartimaeus demonstrates a profound act of faith and urgency. He is willing to leave behind his security and comfort to approach Jesus, indicating his belief that Jesus can change his life. This act can be seen as a metaphor for shedding old ways and embracing new life in Christ, a theme that resonates throughout the New Testament.

he jumped up
The phrase "he jumped up" captures the immediacy and eagerness of Bartimaeus's response to Jesus' call. The Greek verb "anapēdaō" conveys a sense of leaping or springing up, suggesting not only physical movement but also an inner excitement and readiness. This action reflects Bartimaeus's hope and anticipation of healing. In a broader spiritual sense, it illustrates the joy and enthusiasm that should characterize a believer's response to Jesus' invitation. It is a reminder of the transformative power of faith and the readiness to act upon it.

and came to Jesus
The phrase "and came to Jesus" signifies the culmination of Bartimaeus's faith journey. The Greek word "erchomai" means to come or to go, indicating movement towards a destination. In this context, it represents Bartimaeus's approach to the source of his healing and salvation. Historically, this moment is pivotal, as it demonstrates the accessibility of Jesus to those who seek Him earnestly. It underscores the personal nature of faith, where an individual's response to Jesus' call leads to a direct encounter with Him. This phrase encapsulates the essence of the Christian journey—coming to Jesus with faith and expectation, ready to receive His grace and mercy.

Verse 50. - And he, casting away his garment, rose - the word in the Greek is ἀναπηδήσας. literally, sprang to his feet - and came to Jesus. He cast away his "garment," that is, the loose outer robe which covered his tunic. He was in haste, and desired to disengage himself from every ira-pediment, in his eagerness to approach Jesus. We seem here to have the description of a keen eye-witness, such as St. Peter would be.
