So often we try to learn things on our own through theology, Bible study, etc - and forget that it is God who opens our eyes. So easy to forget that! One thing I find interesting about this passage (which, ironically enough, I learned on a theology course) is the way the man's eyes being opened is sandwiched in between the stories about the disciples getting it wrong, and then getting it right. It's as if the man's eyes being opened is a symbol of what's happening to the disciples. Another example of how Mark's gospel is much more complex than people often think perhaps!
