Now a certain man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived.

Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

He took the blind man by the hand and brought him outside of the village. Then he spit on his eyes, placed his hands on his eyes and asked, “Do you see anything?”

Now on one of those days, while he was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting nearby (who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem), and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
