Bar Timaeus mentions Jesus for the first time in the Old Testament as a descendant of David, which makes him presume to be the son of God, as the prophets had announced the Messiah as someone of David's lineage. The fact that Bar Timaeus designates Jesus as the son of David automatically defines him as a Jew, for only a Jew could call him that. In addition to rising from the ground to approach Jesus, Bar Timaeus detaches himself from his outer robe, probably his talit, a typical mantle of the Jews.
Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, character of the New Testament, is the protagonist of the last miracle of Jesus, narrated in frames 10, 46-52.

(Matthew 9:20 ) Like Jew, Bartimaeus ( son of honor ) You must comply with the Ordinance to use the tallit around the clock. (Numbers 15:37-41 ) Only a Jew would have called Jesus "34 David's son;. The faith that this man had in the Hebrew law now deposited it in the Messiah.
