Jesus Heals a Blind Man
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida and climbed bedraggled from the boat. Some people brought another blind man to Jesus. Jesus led him away from the others, spat on his hands and rubbed the spit on his milky, white eyes. The blind man tried to back away as he felt the warm moisture on his face but Jesus held him firmly and applied the spittle to his lifeless eyeballs.
Jesus:
Now tell me, what to do you see?
Blind Man:
Nothing and it stings!
Jesus:
Come on – look. You haven’t tried this for years. Open your eyes and look.
