He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. Of the deaf-mute man it is merely said that "He took him aside" (Mark 7:33); but this blind man He led by the hand out of the town, doing it Himself rather than employing another-great humility, exclaims Bengel!-that He might gain his confidence and raise his expectation.
And when he had spit on his eyes - the organ affected. See the note at Mark 7:33.
And put hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
