"When they 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.'" - Mark 8:22-26
(When a person, blind from birth, regains his sight, it takes time for him to gradually focus on objects and to understand what his new eyes see. JESUS again laid HIS hands on this blind man's eyes.
The same is true in the spiritual realm. JESUS does not let us see everything at once, but conversion is realized bit by bit.
Do not return to the village. If so, all the people would go looking for JESUS to see HIM and touch HIM and clamor for a miracle. JESUS came instead for an authentic encounter with people.)
