| Summary: | Keller argues that Mark uses the stories of the two blind men in his Gospel to serve as metaphors for his community. The “Man from Bethsaida” (8:22–26) represents where Mark's community is in their faith at present and “Bartimaeus” (10:46–52) where he wants them to be. Their stories and the material within the frame of 8:22-10:52 work together to help his community learn the lessons they need in order to advance from the fear they are experiencing to follow Jesus boldly “on the way.” |
