Mark 8:22-26 And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and sought him to touch him.… Men arrive at Christ by different processes: one is found by Christ Himself, another comes to Him, another is borne of four, and this blind man is led. This matters little, so long as we do come to Him. The act of bringing men to Jesus is most commendable. 1. It proves kindly feeling. 2. It shows practical faith in the power of Jesus. 3. It is thus an act of true wisdom. 4. It is exceedingly acceptable to the Lord; and is sure to prove effectual when the person himself willingly comes.In this case there was something faulty in the bringing, since there was a measure of dictation as to the method in which the Lord should operate. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.WEB: He came to Bethsaida.
