15 Free Jesus Heals the Blind Man Coloring Pages, the Persistence Before the Miracle
The crowd told Bartimaeus to be quiet more than once, and he called out louder anyway. That kind of persistence, refusing to be talked out of asking for what you need, is easy to skip past on the way to the healing itself.
This jesus heals the blind man coloring page set slows down for that part. Fifteen hand-drawn pages following the whole encounter, the calling out, the crowd’s objection, Jesus stopping anyway, and the moment sight is finally restored, so a child sees the persistence as much as the miracle.
A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)
My son loves rocks, leaves, the specific feeling of a breeze, snow melting in his hand. We joke that he is an outside child because he notices textures and small details most people walk right past without seeing at all.
That is what stays with me picturing Bartimaeus’s sight restored, not just seeing again, but seeing for the first time with attention, the road, the crowd, the world flooding in all at once.

Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring
Turn this activity into a bonding moment. While your child colors, try asking these questions:
- For “Bartimaeus Cries Out” (Page 3): “Why do you think he kept calling out even when people wanted him to stop?”
- For “The Crowd Tells Him to Be Quiet” (Page 4): “Has anyone ever told you to be quiet when you really needed help? How did that feel?”
- For “The Newly Healed Man’s Joy” (Page 9): “What do you think he wanted to do first, now that he could see?”
The Collection: 15 Free Jesus Heals the Blind Man Coloring Pages
We’ve organized these into three sets to help you teach the full story — from a desperate cry for mercy to joyful, grateful celebration.
For Little Hands: Calling Out for Mercy (Pages 1-5)
Best for toddlers and preschoolers. These pages focus on simple figures, a clear sense of “before and after,” and the courage it takes to ask for help out loud.
- Page 1 introduces two blind men calling out to Jesus for mercy as he passes with a crowd — a gentle, easy-to-follow starting point for little ones.
- Pages 2 & 3 show Jesus welcoming a young child by the hand, and Bartimaeus sitting by the road with his hands raised toward Jesus in the distance.
- Pages 4 & 5 capture the story’s tension and turn: the crowd gesturing for the blind man to be quiet, and Jesus stopping to turn back and address him directly.
Compassion in Action (Pages 6-10)
Perfect for elementary kids. These pages visualize the moment of healing itself and the gratitude that followed.
- Page 6 shows a man helping Bartimaeus up from the ground as Jesus reaches out a welcoming hand.
- Pages 7 & 8 move in close: Jesus speaking gently with a kneeling blind man, and then touching his eyes to restore his sight in front of the watching crowd.
- Pages 9 & 10 contrast overflowing joy with ongoing need: the newly healed man standing with his hands over his heart as light radiates around him, and another blind man still kneeling and begging on the roadside outside Jericho.
Gratitude, Questions, and Celebration (Pages 11-15)
Designed for older kids or quiet reflection. These scenes include detailed storytelling elements and modern application.
- Page 11 shows the healed man walking closely alongside Jesus, looking up at him with deep gratitude.
- Pages 12 & 13 widen the lens: a bustling, high-angle view of the crowded streets near Jericho, and a serious conversation between Jesus and a group of stern Pharisees questioning his actions on the Sabbath.
- Pages 14 & 15 close the set with a thoughtful split-scene contrast between a man still sitting with a cane and others walking freely, followed by a joyful final celebration around Jesus under the “Jesus Heals the Blind Man Coloring Pages” title banner.
Perfect for Sunday School, Faith Formation & Homeschool Families
- Faith formation teachers preparing a lesson on persistence in prayer — Pages 3, 4, and 10 give kids a fast, visual introduction to what it looked like to keep asking for help even when a crowd wanted quiet, perfect for a “why did he keep calling out?” opening activity before deeper storytelling begins.
- Parents building a home faith practice — Pages 7 and 9 anchor a simple family ritual: name a time you asked for help even though it felt hard, then take turns thanking God for the people who stopped for you.
- Homeschool families running a compassion and character unit — Pages 6, 8, 11, and 14 turn abstract virtues like kindness, gentleness, gratitude, and dignity into concrete images kids can talk through one at a time.
- Interfaith and multicultural religious ed classrooms — Page 13 (Jesus in serious dialogue with Pharisees questioning his actions on the Sabbath) and Page 14 (a split scene contrasting a man with a cane against a group walking freely) open honest conversations about disability, compassion, and differing religious viewpoints on how faith should be lived out, without flattening the differences between them.
Real Humans Illustrate Our Coloring Pages
Blindness in this story is a condition these men live with, not their whole identity, and getting that balance right takes real thought, veiled eyes drawn with dignity, posture that still shows persistence and personality underneath.
One illustrator worked through the entire set, which is why Bartimaeus reads as the same specific man from his desperate cry on page three to his overwhelmed joy on page nine, not a generic figure recolored for each scene.
That same care extends to the woman on page ten, given her own real presence instead of being an afterthought, the kind of detail that only comes from a person actually thinking through who belongs in this story.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use the split-scene page (Page 14) to talk about disability and inclusion with my kids?
Use it as an open, gentle conversation starter rather than a “problem to solve.” Ask what each person in the picture might need, and remind kids that everyone deserves to be seen and included, whether or not their body works the same way as someone else’s.
What’s a good way to use the “be quiet” moment (Page 4) to teach kindness toward people who are often overlooked?
Pair it with a simple role-play: have kids practice what they could say or do instead of “shushing” someone who needs help — like walking over, listening, or asking an adult for support.
Is there a meaningful craft to pair with the joyful healing page (Page 9)?
Try a “gratitude heart” craft — have kids trace and cut out a paper heart, then write or draw one thing they’re grateful for on it, echoing the healed man’s hands-over-heart posture of thankfulness.
Does this set only focus on Bartimaeus, or are other stories included?
Page 10 centers a blind woman seeking healing too, so the set doesn’t leave this as a story about only one person.
