his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly. ... "Do not even go into the village."

When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida, people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.  He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.  Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on the man and asked, "Do you see anything?"  Looking up the man replied, "I see people looking like trees and walking."  Then he laid hands on the man's eyes a second time and he saw clearly; his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.  Then he sent him home and said, "Do not even go into the village."

Lord,
This is so confusing.  You healed this man and then sent him where it would not be known,  Lord, help me understand.  This has been so confusing to me for so long.  Do you want people to know abut you or not?

It was not time, at that time.  Now it is time.   At that time knowledge of my miracles created a frenzy which distracted from the gospel message.  Many who were cured did not maintain their faith.  Many people are cured or healed in increments, not all at once and many do not accept less than a full miraculous cure as a miracle from God.   Today many experience miracles but do not accept them as such or as a gift form me.  They receive those gifts through the faith of others in hope and desire for it, the miracle itself is to sanctify and give them faith.  And some still do not accept it or embrace it.
