Joseph, I had the same question, so I researched the question- why did Jesus need two attempts to restore the blind man's eyes? I believe Jesus was acting out a parable about discipleship. He had just scolded his disciples for worrying about bread, even after Jesus had performed two great miracles in multiplying bread, and yet they still doubted. It is the nature of our flesh to doubt and it causes us to have clouded vision so that we do not see the truth when it is standing before us: Jesus is the Bread of Life. Bread was no problem for Jesus! Yet, thank the Lord he gave them another chance:34 "...Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." He wants us to learn from our mistakes and keep following Him, and He can do a mighty work in us, if we don't quit on Him, like He didn't quit on the blind man.
