Blind Bartimaeus - Sketch
This is a fun sketch version of the Blind Bartimaeus story. It expands on the bickering between Philip and Bartimaeus, and ends with a focus on praising God.
Extract from the script:
Narrator: Jesus and his followers continued on their journey again. As they drew near to Jericho they spotted a blind man who was sitting beside the road begging. As he heard Jesus draw near the man leapt to his feet and called out.
Bartimaeus: Son of David, is that you?
Philip: Be quiet.
Bartimaeus: Who said that? Is that you son of David?
Philip: No it isn’t, now be quiet, we’re in a hurry.
Bartimaeus: But I want to see Jesus!
Philip: We haven’t got time, he’s already healed three lepers and a deaf mute today. We have to keep going.
Bartimaeus: Son of David! Stop!
Philip: Be quiet!
Bartimaeus: Jesus – please, show me some mercy! I know you can! Help me! Is that you now?
Philip: No it’s me again. Philip.
Bartimaeus: Oh not you! Go away.
Philip: We will if you just give us the chance. Stop trying to distract Jesus. He’s had a busy day.
Bartimaeus: But it won’t take long – I’ve heard how quickly he heals people.
Philip: The last thing he wants to do now is heal a noisy beggar like you.
Bartimaeus: He has to heal me.
Philip: No he does not!
Bartimaeus: He does. It’s what the prophet said – he came to give sight to the blind.
Philip: Yes – and peace to the world. Which we won’t get if you keep on nagging like this.
Bartimaeus: I want to be healed! Jesus! Listen to me. Show me some mercy!
Jesus: Bring the blind man to me...
