According to the account of Bartimaeus in Mark 10, what did he do with his cloak when Jesus called him?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: He threw it aside and jumped to his feet
Mark 10:50 mentions that Bartimaeus threw his cloak aside. For a beggar, the cloak was likely his most valuable possession and his means of collecting alms, so leaving it behind symbolized his total faith and abandonment of his old life.
