22 They went to Bethsaida where some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They begged Jesus to touch him and heal him. 23 Jesus took the blind man by the hand and took him outside the village. Jesus spat on the man’s eyes and touched him with his hands.

Then Jesus asked him, "Can you see anything?"

24 The man looked around, and said, "I can see people, but they look like trees walking." 25 So Jesus touched the man’s eyes again. He could see properly—he was cured and his sight was clear. 26 Jesus sent the man home, and told him, "Don’t go back through the village."*8:26. In other words, do not spread the news of what has happened.
