The Blind Man at Bethsaida

The blind man comes by the urging of others, and after Jesus first touches him, he sees people but not clearly.

W²²hen they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. ²³So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked. ²⁴The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”

Jesus touches him again, restores full sight, and sends him home without entering the village again.

²⁵Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly. ²⁶Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
