Did you know that Jesus spit in someone's eyes?

In Mark 8:23 the gesture made sense: to the Jews of that time a rabbi's saliva was sacred because of its constant contact with God's word.

When Jesus spit in the blind man's eyes in Mark 8:23, it was not a random or offensive act, but a gesture deeply rooted in Jewish tradition that reflected His power and divine authority. In the culture of that time, a rabbi's saliva was considered sacred because it was constantly in contact with the word of God. In this video, we explore the profound meaning of this miracle and how the cultural perception of the Jews helps us better understand the way Jesus healed and taught.
