Mark 8:25

saw every man clearly or rather, began to see all things clearly, "So that he syy clerely alle thingis," Wyclif. The word translated "clearly" literally = "far-shining," "far-beaming." The man meant that he could now see clearly far and near. This is one of the few instances of a strictly progressivecure recorded in the Gospels. "His friends asked that He would touch him. To this demand for an instant act followed by an instant cure, the Lord opposed His own slow and circumstantial method of procedure." Lange. Comp. the cure of Naaman, 2 Kings 5:10-11; 2 Kings 5:14.
