Bartimaeus is a biblical figure featured in the Synoptic Gospels of the New Testament. He is identified as a blind man who was healed by Jesus near the town of Jericho, an event that occurred shortly before Jesus's passion. The primary account of this miracle is found in the Gospel of Mark, which specifies that the healing of Bartimaeus took place as Jesus was leaving Jericho. The Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke also record this event, drawing from Mark's narrative to describe the healing of the blind near the town.
