Gospel
text (Mc 8,22-26): When
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida, Jesus was asked to touch a blind man
who was brought to him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside
the village. When he had put spittle on his eyes and laid his hands upon him,
he asked, «Can you see anything?». The man, who was beginning to see, replied,
«I see people! They look like trees, but they move around». Then Jesus laid his
hands on his eyes again and the man could see perfectly. His sight was restored
and he could see everything clearly. Then Jesus sent him home saying, «Do not
return to the village».
