Mark

Mark 8:23–25

²³So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.

²⁴The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”

²⁵Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
