And some people *brought a man who was blind to [a]Jesus and *begged Him to (B)touch him. 23 Taking the man who was blind by the hand, He (C)brought him out of the village; and after (D)spitting in his eyes and (E)laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he [b]looked up and said, “I see people, for I see them like trees, walking around.” 25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. 26 And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter (F)the village.”
