@Joseph,
Comment on verse 24; I do not believe I really have a clear understanding of this verse but some of my thoughts.
1. Jesus and his disciples just completed the feeding of the 4000;
2. Jesus made remarks about the disciples unbelief in reference to their inability to spiritually discern with their eyes and ears;
3. They came into Bethsaida (means house of fishing) and when they brought the blind man to Jesus, he may have taken this opportunity for an object lesson;
4. Taking 2 attempts to perform a miracle is not needed for Jesus of course;
5. I can't help, but think of 1 Corinthians 13:8-13. Verse 12 for now we see though a glass darkly; but we shall see face to face; now I know in part; but then shall i know even as I am known;
6. When the blind man looked up he saw Jesus face to face all things became clear ( Acts 4:13);
7. When a person begins believing God�s holy word and looking to the author for the answers; instead of believing what they want to about God's holy scriptures (reduce God's word to fit their lifestyle). They start the journey from being a child in Christ to putting away childish things;
8. It is the fundamental transformation from being worldly and earthly minded to being spiritually and heavenly minded.
