| 释义 |
The Blind Man of Bethsaida is the subject of one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels. It is found only in Mark 8:22-26.[1][2] The exact location of Bethsaida in this pericope is subject to debate among scholars, but is likely to have been Bethsaida Julias, on the north shore of Lake Galilee.[1] According to the Mark's account, when Jesus came to Bethsaida, a town in Galilee, he was asked to heal a blind man. Jesus took the man by the hand and led him out of the town, put some spittle on his eyes, and laid hands on him. "I see men like trees, walking", said the man. Jesus repeated the procedure, resulting in clear and perfect eyesight. "Neither go into the town," commanded Jesus, "nor tell anyone in the town." (New King James Version). Even though the story is found only in Mark, it is strongly supported by the criterion of embarrassment, since it could be argued that early Christians would not have been happy that Jesus had to give two blessings to achieve a proper result. Bede argues that "by this miracle, Christ teaches us how great is the spiritual blindness of man, which only by degrees, and by successive stages, can come to the light of Divine knowledge".[3] The New Testament describes only one other miracle performed in Bethsaida, the feeding of the multitude in {{bibleverse||Luke|9:16|NKJV}}, although {{bibleverse||John|21:25|NKJV}} states that many more things were done by Jesus than have been recorded. According to {{bibleverse||Matthew|11:21|ESV}}, Jesus cursed the city for its lack of belief in him despite "the mighty works done in you". Methodist founder John Wesley suggests that Jesus escorted the man out of the town before healing him "in just displeasure against the inhabitants of Bethsaida for their obstinate infidelity".[4] References1. ^1 The Miracles of Jesus by Craig Blomberg, David Wenham 2003 {{ISBN|1592442854}} page 419 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%208:22-26&version=NIV |title=Biblegateway Mark 8:22-26 |publisher=Biblegateway.com |date= |accessdate=2018-04-18}} 3. ^Bede, On the Gospel of Mark, quoted in Pulpit Commentary on Mark 8, accessed 25 November 2017 4. ^Wesley, J., Notes on the New Testament on Mark 8, accessed 25 November 2017 See also
