All but one instance has to do with helaing

In some instances the infirm and troubledseek to touch Jesus (3: 10; 5: 2731; 6:56),

and in others Jesus extends ahealing touch to them (1: 41; 7: 33;8: 22).

Sometimes healing is accompanied by the actuallaying on of Jesus' (5: 23; 7: 32; 8: 23, 25) or thedisciples' hands (6: 5; 16: 18).

in OT The two primary purposes of laying on of hands in the Old Covenant were to transfereither animals or persons from the profane to the sacred by consecrating them to God. WhenJesus lays hands on people the effect is rather the opposite, however, for the profane is nolonger elevated to the sacred, as in the OT, but rather by bestowing God's holy and healingpresence on ordinary, common, and even sinful people, Jesus brings the sacred to theprofane.

Here as in the spit there si aconveyance the healing is attached toJesus

If the man hadn’t admitted he still didn’t see aright, maybe Jesus would have nevertouched him again. Dr. LloydJones basically says, “Interesting. What if Jesus had said,‘Do you see aright?’ and the man said, ‘Of course, I do. What are you talking about?Yes, everything is just fine.’ He would have walked around the rest of his life cuttingdown people and talking to trunks.” He had holy dissatisfaction. He admitted it stilldidn’t work.

It’s a little bit of a dicey thing to say to the Savior of the world, “I’m not sure yourtouch worked here.” Instead of saying, “Well, maybe it was my fault. Maybe myblindness is so bad even Jesus can’t heal it.” He said, “No, I don’t see aright. Please.”And Jesus touched him again. What Dr. LloydJones is just saying is be dissatisfiedwith your level of spiritual sight and it will be all right. Go to him and say, “I don’t seearight.”

be unsatisffied I don’t care who you are. I don’t care how long you’ve been a Christian. I don’t carewhat you think you know. Unless you are like Jacob sometimes and you go and say, “I will not letyou go unless you bless me.” Unless you have a holy dissatisfaction that your level of experienceand your level of spiritual sight and your level of the experience of God’s love and your level of theexperience of God’s holiness … Unless you are dissatisfied and saying to Jesus, “No, I still don’t seearight,” you’re not going to keep growing.

Keller, T. J. (2013). The Timothy Keller SermonArchive. New York City: Redeemer PresbyterianChurch.

You’re not capable of being dissatisfied with your sight unless God has alreadybegun to clear it somewhat. You’re not capable of wanting his love or even feelinglike you don’t have his love unless he was already giving you some. By taking toomuch credit, by forgetting the fact spiritual sight is all a gift, you’re robbing him ofglory and yourself of a lot of joy. Stop it.
