Mark 8:25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and made him look up—this is the Authorized Version rendering of ἐποίησεν αὐτον ἀναβλέψαι: but the better authenticated reading is simply καὶ διέβλεψε, and he looked steadfastly—and was restored, and saw all things clearly.

Now, here it pleased our Lord, not suddenly, but by degrees, to give perfect sight to this blind man.
