Jesus has by now prepared his disciples for his death by prophesying about it and teaching them about what it will be like to ‘lead’ in His kingdom. And he healed Bartimaeus.
Translation notes:
22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “[Believe fully//Have faith] in God.
32 But [we don’t//do we] dare say it was merely human[, do we/0]?” For they were afraid of what the people would do, because
everyone [in that crowd//0] believed that John was a prophet.
