I believe that it means "he cried" for Jesus to hear him. He was blind, as many were, and was afraid Jesus might not see him. But he was, dare I say, only physically blind! Bartimaeus was "spiritually" sighted! He recognized Jesus as "Messiah!"

Good question, Andy! First, see the big picture:

Blind Bartimaeus

His Condition—Blind and Begging  Mark 10:46
His Conviction—Heard of Jesus, and cried for mercy  Mark 10:47
His Call—Jesus called him  Mark 10:49
His Conversion—He came to Jesus  Mark 10:50
His Consecration—He followed Jesus  Mark 10:52

W.J.M. -- Rev. W. J. M. Parker?

The word "shouted" has a Greek NT significance here: κράζειν καί λέγειν, Matthew 9:27; Matthew 21:15; Mark 10:47; Luke 4:41, It comes from the Greek word, " κράζω" (krazó) and means in this context, "to cry i. e. call out aloud, speak with a loud voice."

He was excited to contact Jesus. Are we this excited?

He was bold. Are we this bold?

He didn't care what people thought of him. Do we care what people think of us?
