Quick answer

Jesus heals Bartimaeus, attributing his healing to faith, and the man follows Jesus on the road.

Overview

Jesus declares that the man's faith has made him well, and his sight is restored immediately. Rather than going his own way, Bartimaeus follows Jesus on the road that leads to the cross, becoming a picture of true discipleship. The account closes Mark's section on discipleship: those whom Jesus opens both see and follow Him.
