96 — Person: Bartimaeus

Number: 96

Person: Bartimaeus

Action: Throwing aside his cloak; following Jesus on the way (after he received his sight)

Object: Cloak

Scripture connection: Mark 10:50 — And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Mark 10:52 — And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.

Memory hook: 96 = Tet-Vav = basket + nail; Mark 10. Bartimaeus and the cloak — the number 96 is the blind man who threw aside his cloak and followed.

Why this number? 96 = Tet-Vav = basket + nail; Mark 10. Bartimaeus threw aside his cloak and followed Jesus; the number 96 ties him to the Hebrew letters and the cloak.
