“restored” (sesōken, from sōzō) him, drawing him into the power and presence of the kingdom so that he is renewed and restored to God. Jesus commends his spiritual perception, which is the very thing the disciples need to develop. These two incidents do not employ the verb therapeuō (“to heal”), which is used in other contexts, pointing to a person being restored to health from some kind of sickness or physical illness. Mark uses this term in 1:34 to speak of the pattern of Jesus’s ministry in Galilee.
