The Blind Man of Bethsaida
The article explores the unique miracle of Jesus healing the blind man of Bethsaida, recorded only in the Gospel of Mark. This gradual, two-stage healing symbolizes the disciples' spiritual growth and gradually deepening understanding.
Mark 8.22-26 (King James Version) :And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
