Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida
At Bethsaida, Jesus led a blind man out of the village and healed him in two stages.
When Jesus came to Bethsaida, people brought a blind man to him. They begged Jesus to touch the man.
Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. There, Jesus spat on his eyes and laid his hands on him. Then Jesus asked whether he could see anything.
The man looked up and said that he could see people, but they looked like walking trees.
Jesus laid his hands on the man's eyes again. Then the man looked intently, his sight was restored, and he saw everyone clearly.
Jesus sent him to his house with a command not to enter the village and not to tell anyone there. This healing happened in stages, and after Jesus touched him again, the man could see clearly.
