Context of Mark 8:22
20“When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they said to Him, “Seven.” 21And He was saying to them, “Do you not yet understand?” And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought a man who was blind to Jesus and begged Him to touch him. 23Taking the man who was blind by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting in his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24And he looked up and said, “I see people, for I see them like trees, walking around.”
