“After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:23 He led him out of the town - It was in just displeasure against the inhabitants of Bethsaida for their obstinate infidelity, that our Lord would work no more miracles among them, nor even suffer the person he had cured, either to go into the town, or to tell it to any therein.
8:24 I see men as trees walking - He distinguished men from trees only by their motion.
8:27 #Mt 16:13|; Lu 9:18.
Mr 8:25 He put [his] hands again upon his eyes. This is the only example of a "progressive" cure. I suppose that it was an example of progressive faith. The Lord could have healed him with a word, but he wished to save the soul as well as the body.
