“After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”
Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly — the second touch produces the complete healing: his eyes were opened (full opening of perception), his sight was restored (vision normalized), and he saw everything clearly (precision vision, not blurred). The two-stage healing is the narrative picture of the disciples' situation — they have partial sight (they see the miracles, know the facts) but not yet clear sight (they do not understand who Jesus is). The full sight will come in stages, reaching clarity after the resurrection.
