Jesus Heals a Blind Man In Two Stages

22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring Him a blind man, and are begging Him that He touch him. 23 And having taken-hold-of the hand of the blind man, He brought him outside of the village. And having spit in his eyes, having laid His hands on him, He was asking him “Do you see anything?” 24 And having looked-up, he was saying “I am seeing people, because I am looking-at something like trees walking around”. 25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes, and looked-intently, and restored[a] them. And he was seeing everything clearly. 26 And He sent him away to his house, saying “Do not even enter into the village”.

  1. Mark 8:25 Since ‘them’ is not expressed in the Greek, some take this verb to mean simply ‘he restored’; that is, ‘he changed back’, ‘he recovered’. In this case, these verbs refer to the man instead of Jesus, ‘on his eyes. And he looked-intently and recovered, and was seeing everything clearly’.
