The Two Blind men

After narrowing my paper down I have decided to write my paper over the two blind miracles. They are recorded in Mark chapters eight and ten. They are the healings of the man at Bethsaida and the healing of Bartimaeus. So, knowing the miracles I want to write about how am I going to approach these miracles? My main purpose is to really get a full overview of how these two miracles function in Mark.

So, my first objective is to see why Mark put these miracles into his gospel. Knowing the audience, what was going on at this time that he would put them into the story. Then I want to see how they would have understood the stories. My next objective is to see how the miracles ineract with the other miracles and how they interact with Jesus's teachings. Then my final objective is to see how the blind miracles tell us who Jesus is.
