Jesus does a two-step healing — the only one in the gospels where the miracle happens in stages instead of all at once.
People bring a blind man to Jesus in Bethsaida and beg him to touch the guy. Jesus leads him outside the village, spits on his eyes, and lays hands on him. He asks what he can see, and the man says 'I see people, but they look like trees walking around.' Jesus lays his hands on him a second time, and this time the man sees everything clearly. It's the only two-stage healing in the gospels — likely a teaching moment about how spiritual sight develops in stages too, which fits the Bethsaida-rejecting-Jesus context (Matthew 11:21).
