22They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
23He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, Can you see anything?
24And the man looked up and said, I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.
25Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
26Then he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even go into the village.
27Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, Who do people say that I am?
28And they answered him, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.
29He asked them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered him, You are the Messiah.
30And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
