At times, JESUS would ask the people ''IF'' they believed HE could do this.....Or said such things as....Be it unto you according to your faith...! When the men and women laughed at him concerning Tabitha, the little girl, He said ''she is only asleep...!

And remember what JESUS said about Chorazen and Bethsaida......(Luke 10: 12-14) Woe to you Chorazen woe to you Bethsaida, if the miracles done in you(in town) had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes......So JESUS brought the man out of the town, and told him NOT to go back into town because they didn't believe JESUS......

1) Many scholars have argued that since the wise men or magi described in Matthew 2:1-12 are pictured as coming from the east, they are likely symbolic of non-Jewish acceptance of Jesus at the time that Matthew was writing his Gospel. If this is the case, what would say is ironic or strange about the actions of Kind Herod and "all of Jerusalem with him" in the account of the wise men? Who could Herod and "all of Jerusalem" be symbolic of?

The Healing of a Blind Man, and all of us
Jesus truly understood the plight of the poor man, who without the aid of Jesus would wander aimlessly through his life.  We al l hope and pray that Jesus understands the plights of the world, and will bring salvation to all of us!!!  God bless the world. Amen!

Why do you think Jesus brought the man outside the village before performing the miracle?
Not looking for worldwide fame. Not boasting the miracles. See one of this year 22nd Sunday of ordinary time readings. As promised in the Old Testament. False prophets speak out falsities trying to silence the truth hide it with their confusing deafening noise. True prophets, and Jesus is the promised Messaiah, act the saving truth. Which `speaks` for itself....leaving an unforgettable mark im people hearts and memories.Its not a public big show. But Spiritual sight is restored in the quietness almost secrecy of the relationship with Jesus. Again i cant help thinking of the confessional.

Jesus didn`t want them to broadcast what Jesus had done for them and precipitated a crisis before Jesus had completed his ministry.

The Healing of a Blind Man
Jesus brought the blind man outside the village before performing the miracle. It may be because, Jesus wanted to heal this man. At the same time, the surroundings may be an obstacle to do the miracle. Hence Jesus brought the blind man outside the village. Jesus wanted us to leave our sinful activities. Then only, Jesus can do work in our life.

Jesus did not like the villagers of Bethsaida by not allowing them to witness the miracle?
The miracle is part of faith strengthening event in my own understanding which i see important to be witnessed by all but Jesus did not give the Bethsaida residence a chance.

Jesus did not want a show to the villagers around. He wanted them to recognise the blind man being able to see by themselves.

the healing of the blind man
I think jesus is not yet ready to show his performance at the village for making such meracles, jesus has a plan of time for making meracles before he enter the village, surprisingly that the people of the village will know who realy jesus christ is, one of the mission of jesus was, he is the light of the world, for knowing, not only for the blind man can physicaly see the light but for all the man will see mentaly and morally the brightest light of gods plan in us, it is worthy of all the valuables that god the father send his son jesus as the ligth of this world.

The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him. He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them like trees walking."
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. He sent him away to his house, saying, "Don't enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village."

Mark 8:22-26
