1) Many scholars have argued that since the wise men or magi described in Matthew 2:1-12 are pictured as coming from the east, they are likely symbolic of non-Jewish acceptance of Jesus at the time that Matthew was writing his Gospel. If this is the case, what would say is ironic or strange about the actions of Kind Herod and "all of Jerusalem with him" in the account of the wise men? Who could Herod and "all of Jerusalem" be symbolic of? By: Necccco - June 01, 2008 - Public Category: The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

Why do you think Jesus brought the man outside the village before performing the miracle? He want to have some privacy, where he is alone with God. The crowd might be looking for him, but it is not time yet. By: Kah Bik Cheong - October 03, 2007 - Public Category: The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

Why do you think Jesus brought the man outside the village before performing the miracle? He wanted him to feel the power that was on his hands. He wanted him to believe and not think that it was fake. By: Myra Gonzalez - August 13, 2007 - Public Category: The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

Why do you think Jesus brought the man outside the village before performing the miracle? Because he does not want to put on a show like a false prophet would do. Those who truly seek shall find him and they will watch closely and will see that its no trick but true healing and to them the task to spread the word. from trusted friend to trusted friend. In contrast with the miracle of the bread and fish where there is a huge congregation of people. But that is the foreshadowing of the Eucahrist where all partake. Here it is also like the confession. It is a private healing encounter with the single soul. By: Alessandra Parrini - August 09, 2007 - Public Category: The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

I wonder why Jesus, like in other cases, did not just speak, and the eyes would open. Why did he have to spit into his eyes, anyway? By: Robert Ochen-Chagara - August 03, 2007 - Public Category: The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

Why do you think Jesus brought the man outside the village before performing the miracle? I know the crowd was still looking for him, especially after the feeding of the 5,000. They wanted wrongly thou, to crown him King of the Jews, but Jesus knew his time was not yet. He therefore needed privacy.
