Sorry to nit-pick, but it was John who said that in Luke 3:9, not Christ.
This speech also references the floating axe-head scene in 2 Kings 6.
This scene refers to a "man of God", which could be a Christophany. He asks the woodcutter where the axe fell. He then cuts a stick and throws it in the river. It sticks to the axe-head and makes it float. All of this takes place in 2 King 6:6, and the Hebrew does not include the name Elisha.
These scenes take place 900 years apart, but that is not a problem for Christ.
One should also remember the literal significance of it: when modern science restores sight to those born blind, they have to actually learn how to see. There were two miracles required.
This was fantastic!
