When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions?" "Twelve," they said.

And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to touch him.
23
So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"
24
He looked up and said, "I can see the people: I see them like trees--only walking."

Then for the second time He put His hands on the man's eyes, and the man, looking steadily, recovered his sight and saw everything distinctly.

So He sent him home, and added, "Do not even go into the village."

From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
28
"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."
