34. Healing a blind man in Bethsaida (Mark 8:22-26)

The New Testament of the Bible records more than one miracle in which Jesus healed people who were blind. In John 9:1-41, Jesus mixes saliva with dirt and spreads the mud on the blind person's eyes and he is miraculously able to see. The Gospel of Mark describes another miracle in which Jesus puts saliva on a man's eyes:

22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”

25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. 26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.” (Mark 8:22-26, WEB)
