So in Bammidbar Rabba, § 15, fol. 229.1, "The Israelites said to God, O Lord of the universe, thou commandest us to light lamps to thee, yet thou art the light of the world." It was also a title of the Messiah - see Isaiah 49:6; 60:1
and in a remarkable passage of Yalkut Rubeni, fol. 6, it is said on Genesis 1:4, "From this we learn that the holy and blessed God saw the light of the Messiah, and his works, before the world was created; and reserved it for the Messiah, and his generation, under the throne of his glory. Satan said to the holy and blessed God, For whom dost thou reserve that light which is under the throne of thy glory? God answered, For him who shall subdue thee, and overwhelm thee with confusion. Satan rejoined, Lord of the universe, shew that person to me. God said, Come, and see him. When he saw him, he was greatly agitated, and fell upon his face, saying, Truly this is the Messiah, who shall cast me and idolaters into hell.Reciprocal Mark 2:28 - General; 10:52 - he received; Luke 1:79 - give; 18:43 - he; 1 John 1:5 - that God Verse 6 he spat Mark 7:33, 8:23; Revelation 3:18, anointed the eyes of the blind with the clay, or, spread the clay upon the eyes of the blind manReciprocal Joshua 6:12 - the priests; 2 Samuel 5:23 - fetch; 2 Kings 2:21 - cast; 4:41 - he cast; 6:6 - he cut down; 1 Chronicles 14:14 - turn away; Isaiah 38:21 - For Isaiah; Matthew 9:29 - touched; 20:34 - touched; John 9:11 - A man; 10:21 - Can; 11:37 - Could Verse 7 Go 2 Kings 5:10-14 the pool John 9:11; Nehemiah 3:15, Siloah, Isaiah 8:6, ShiloahSent John 10:36; Romans 8:3; Galatians 4:4 and came John 9:39, 11:37; Exodus 4:11; Psalm 146:8; Isaiah 29:18, 29:19, 32:3, 35:5, 42:7, 42:16-18; 43:8; Luke 2:32; Acts 26:18 Reciprocal Genesis 49:10 - until; Joshua 6:12 - the priests; 2 Samuel 5:23 - fetch; 2 Kings 6:6 - he cut down; 1 Chronicles 14:14 - turn away; Song of Songs 6:13 - Shulamite; Matthew 9:29 - touched; 9:30 - their; 20:34 - touched; Mark 3:5 - Stretch; 7:33 - he took; 8:23 - spit; Luke 13:4 - in Siloam; 17:14 - as Verse 8 Is not Ruth 1:19; 1 Samuel 21:11 sat 2:8; Mark 10:46; Luke 16:20-22, 18:35; Acts 3:2-11 Reciprocal 1 Samuel 10:11 - when all; Luke 16:3 - to beg; John 9:19 - Is this; Acts 9:21 - Is not Verse 9 Reciprocal 1 Samuel 10:11 - when all; John 9:19 - Is this; Acts 9:21 - Is not Verse 10 John 9:15, 9:21, 9:26, 3:9; Ecclesiastes 11:5; Mark 4:27; 1 Corinthians 15:35 Reciprocal Jeremiah 36:17 - Tell; John 9:27 - I have; Acts 14:27 - opened Verse 11 A man John 9:6, 9:7, 9:27; Jeremiah 36:17 Reciprocal Luke 13:4 - in Siloam; John 5:15 - and told; 9:15 - the Pharisees Verse 12 Where John 5:11-13, 7:11; Exodus 2:18-20 Reciprocal John 5:15 - and told Verse 13 John 8:3-8, 11:46, 11:47, 11:57, 12:19, 12:42

This was the effect of well-directed surgery; that performed by Christ was wholly a miracle, effected by the power of God.
