Jesus heals a blind man at Bethsaida

[3in1]

hi

was wondering why Jesus said to the man

"don't go back in to village" after He healed him ??

Mark chpt8 v22-25

 

[rlowe]

from part of John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

on Mark 8:26

the reason of this was not merely or only because Christ would have the miracle concealed; but chiefly because the inhabitants of this place were notorious for their impenitence and unbelief.

from part of John Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament

on Mark ch.8

Jesus leads the blind man out of the town. He does not forsake Israel wherever there is faith; but He separates the one who possesses it from the mass, and brings him into connection with the power, the grace, the heaven, whence blessing flowed-blessing consequently which extended to the Gentiles. Power was not exercised in the midst of manifest unbelief. This clearly marks out the position of Christ with regard to the people.

I hope this helps.
