The young man is sad when he goes away from Jesus because **he's rich**. The passage describing this encounter (Matthew 19:16-22) indicates the young man was saddened because Jesus told him that to be perfect, he must sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor. The young man was attached to his wealth and unwilling to part with it.<br /><br />Jesus's response to Bartimaeus ("Call him here") is different from the response of the crowd because **they tell him to shut up!** (or variations of "be quiet"). The crowd tries to silence Bartimaeus's cries for Jesus's attention, while Jesus actively calls for him to be brought closer. This highlights Jesus's compassion and willingness to engage with those marginalized by society.<br />
