Mark 8:22-26
New Matthew Bible
22 And he came to Bethsaida, and people brought a blind man to him and asked him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town, and spat in his eyes, and put his hands upon him, and asked him whether he could see anything. 24 And the man looked up and said, I see the people, for I see them walk, as if they were trees. 25 After that Jesus put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And his sight was restored, and he saw every person clearly. 26 And Jesus sent him home to his house, saying, Do not go into the town, nor tell anyone in town about this.
