Lesson Outlines:<br />
Once upon a time Jesus Christ was walking surrounded by many many people near a city called<br />
Jericho. A blind bigger was setting and asking for money at <strong>the</strong> gate. His name was Bartemaeus.<br />
What was his name? He <strong>the</strong>n heard <strong>the</strong> noise <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> great crowd <strong>of</strong> people surrounding Jesus Christ<br />
passing by him. So, he asked what is happening? Why <strong>the</strong>re is a great crowd <strong>of</strong> people since he could<br />
not see. The people told him that Jesus Christ is passing by surrounded by many people. When he<br />
heard that Jesus Christ is near, he started calling out with a loud voice “Son <strong>of</strong> David, have mercy on<br />
me”. When <strong>the</strong> people heard Bartmaeus <strong>the</strong> blind calling on Jesus Christ, <strong>the</strong>y tried to quiet him<br />
down and told him to shash….!!! And not to make noise. But Bartemaeus cried out even louder to<br />
make sure that Jesus Christ would hear him “Son <strong>of</strong> David, have mercy on me”. When Jesus heard<br />
him, He asked where is that person who is calling me. The people told Bartemaeus, come to see Jesus<br />
He is asking about you. So, Bartemaeus <strong>the</strong> blind man was happy and asked <strong>the</strong> people to help him to<br />
get in front <strong>of</strong> Jesus. When Jesus saw him, He asked him what do you want me to do for you?<br />
Bartemaeus said: I would like to be able to see. Then Jesus touched his eyes and immediately he was<br />
able to see (<strong>the</strong> servant should act this part to <strong>the</strong> students while telling <strong>the</strong> story). Bartemaeus was<br />
very very happy that he was able to see every body around him and Jesus Christ Himself in front <strong>of</strong><br />
