It was unusual for Jesus to inquire about the results of His ministry as He did in verse 23. It was even more unusual that Jesus laid hands on this man a second time. This is the only example in the New Testament where Jesus had to minister to any need more than once to affect a total healing.
Many people request things from God and then look at their circumstances to see if God answered their prayer. That is walking by sight and not by faith. If they can't "see" God's answer, then they pray again asking for the same thing. This is not the way Jesus taught us to pray and receive. We can be certain that Jesus didn't lay hands on this man a second...

If I could turn back time,
What if you could turn back time and change the road that you turned.. In my life I have made a few wrong turns but have been trying to get back on the right path to fulfill what God has in store for me. I have made wrong choses in my life and have made some mistakes. I am thankful that God is a forgiving God and he loves a sinner like me. The Bible says that we are all born in sin, it is up to us to make sure we make the right choices in life, I know he loves you and me..
God has given me a gift that I cannot deny so I am asking for your help in spreading indie music everywhere.
Thank you my friend..

Just a few days before this instance, hardened hearts caused Jesus' disciples to be amazed when they saw Jesus walk on the water to them. Here, Jesus' statements reveal some of the characteristics of someone with a hardened heart.
First, a hard heart keeps us from perceiving spiritual truths. This is why everyone in a church service hears exactly the same message yet, some will receive while others won't. It's not the Word that is the variable, but rather the condition of the hearts. A hard heart stops spiritual perception.
Second, a hardened heart stops us from understanding spiritual truth. When a person doesn't understand God's Word, Satan finds no...
HOW CAN YOU PROVE, WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND IS ALIVE TODAY? I USED TO TRY TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE. YOU CAN QUOTE SCRIPTURE AFTER SCRIPTURE BUT IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT, THERE IS NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. I JUST PRAY FOR THEM THAT GOD WILL OPEN THEIR EYES TO THE TRUTH. THAT IS WHY I DON'T START OFF BY TRYING TO SHOW THEM THINGS IN THE BIBLE. I LIKE TO START OFF BY TELLING THEM THAT I KNOW HE IS ALIVE BECAUSE I FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM EVERY DAY AND I CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE. I LIKE TO TELL THEM ABOUT HOW HE HAS HEALED ME MANY...
The Sadducees were a Jewish sect (Acts 5:17), of both a political and religious nature, that was best known for its opposition to the more popular party (the Pharisees), because of differences in various doctrinal and political questions. Sadducees rejected the oral tradition of the Pharisees who made a "mountain" of burdensome legislation and accepted only the written law. We are told they believed there is "no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit" (Acts 23:8). From Josephus, we learn that the Sadducees believed that the soul perishes with the body (Antiq. XVIII. 1.4) and, therefore, can receive neither penalties nor rewards in an afterlife (War II. 8.14).
The most significant mention of the Sadducees in the Gospels...
DO YOU KNOW WHAT A HYPOCRITE IS?
I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE ONLY WHEN YOUR MOTIVES FOR DOING SOMETHING IS WRONG AND YOU'RE NOT GENUINELY SEEKING THE WELFARE...
The Greek word used here for "sighed deeply" means an intense grieving, inaudible prayer, or groan. This is intercession of the Holy Spirit, with groanings that cannot be uttered. Some Spirit-filled Christians believe this means groanings that cannot be uttered in normal speech and that this refers to speaking in tongues. However, this actually refers to a type of intercession different than speaking in tongues.
In John 11:33 and 38, Jesus groaned in the Spirit twice, and in those cases there were no words uttered. It was exactly as the Scripture states, a groaning in the Spirit. Everyone who has the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit has or will have this happen to them....
