JESUS HEALS A BLIND MAN AT BETHSAIDA

Mark 8:22-26
Key Verse: 8:25    "Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored,
                                 and he saw everything clearly."

1. Read verse 22. What happened when Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida? Think about the nameless “some people”. What did they do? Why? Can you think of others who took time to help someone? (See Lk 10:25-37)

2. Read verse 23. What did Jesus first do and say in response to the request of  “some people”? What does this reveal about Jesus?

3. Read verse 24. What did the man say to Jesus? What does the incomplete healing suggest? How does he remind us of Jesus’ disciples?

4. Read verse 25. What did Jesus do a second time? With what result? What does this event reveal about the effort required for Jesus to heal? What can we learn here about Jesus? How is he like the Good Samaritan?
