Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida
In the prior verses, Jesus rebukes the disciples for having eyes that cannot see and ears that cannot hear. And now a blind man is brought before Him. The crowd watches. What will Jesus do with this man? The expectations of the crowd swallow up the man's own story. But Jesus sees the man. He removes him from the village and the onlookers to a place where they are one-on-one. The man begins to see at His touch - not clear at first - but he does see a little. So Jesus touches him again, and he finally sees. Jesus shows us what opening eyes look like. And then, in the following verses, Peter's own eyes are opened wide.
Questions for Reflection
- How do the crowds' expectations hinder what Jesus wants to do?
- Are we willing to let Jesus get us alone to be in our most pressing place of need?
- How did Jesus respond when the miracle only seemed to provide partial sight? Will we trust Him when our sight remains impaired?
- How can Jesus touch you right now in your place of greatest need?

Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
