Mark's Gospel also has an account of the healing of a man named Bartimaeus, done as Jesus is leaving Jericho.[15] The Gospel of Matthew [16] has a simpler account loosely based on this, with two unnamed blind men instead of one (this 'doubling' is a characteristic of Matthew's treatment of the Mark text) and a slightly different version of the story, taking place in Galilee, earlier in the narrative.[17] The Gospel of Luke tells the same story of Jesus healing an unnamed blind man, but moves the event in the narrative to when Jesus approaches Jericho.[18][19]
