Mark 8:22-26

International Standard Version

Jesus Heals a Blind Man in Bethsaida

²² As they came to Bethsaida, some people^[a] brought a blind man to Jesus^[b] and begged him to touch him.^{[c] 23} Jesus^[d] took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. He spit into his eyes, placed his hands on him, and asked him, “Do you see anything?”

²⁴ The man^[e] looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking around.” ²⁵ Then Jesus^[f] placed his hands on the man’s^[g] eyes again, and he saw clearly. His sight was restored, and he saw everything perfectly, even from a distance.

²⁶ Then Jesus^[h] sent him home, saying, “Don’t go into the village or tell anyone in the village.”^[i]
