Mark 8:1-22-26 – The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida
- Still can’t get past the whole spitting thing.
- Why would Jesus do this again when it was something that the local ‘magicians’ would do and the rabbi’s warned against?
- One commentary says Jesus was reminding people of the fact that we all came from the earth – So it was kind of an object lesson.
- Jesus leads the blind man out of the village in order to do this thing privately.
- Bethsaida was in the orthodox triangle and as soon as many people would find out about this they would try to make Him the kind of king they wanted to overthrow the Romans.
- But Jesus again refused to be used in that way. But he also does not therefore ignore the need of the blind man.
- Jesus goes out of His way – I must learn to sometimes do the same.
