"And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee." — Mark 10:49 (ASV)
Stood still (στας). Second aorist active ingressive participle. So Mt 20:32. Luke 18:40 has σταθεις, aorist passive participle.
He calleth thee (φωνε σε). That was joyful news to Bartimaeus. Vivid dramatic presents here in Mark.
