22. Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch and heal him.
23. Taking the blind man’s hand, Jesus led him out of the village. After spitting on his eyes and laying his hands on the man, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"
24. The man looked up and said, "I see people. They look like trees, only they are walking around."
25. Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again. He looked with his eyes wide open, his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
26. Then Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don’t go into the village!"
27. Jesus and his disciples went into the villages near Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
28. They told him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the prophets."
29. He asked them, "And what about you? Who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."
30. Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
31. Then Jesus began to teach his disciples: "The Human One must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and the legal experts, and be killed, and then, after three days, rise from the dead."
32. He said this plainly. But Peter took hold of Jesus and, scolding him, began to correct him.
