Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

At Bethsaida, people bring a blind man to Jesus and ask Him to touch him. Jesus leads the man outside the village and heals him in two stages. The man first sees people who look like trees walking, then sees clearly. Jesus sends him home and tells him not to enter the village.
