I have long been puzzled by the story in Mark, of Jesus spitting in the eye of the blind man. There is a similar story in John, I am not sure if it is the same case or not.
Now Jesus can raise the dead and he can walk on water and he does these truly incredible things without props or gimmicks. So why the spit? Something about this tale has never felt right with me.
I see from the 'Bible Inspectors' website that I am not the only one to find this strange. None of the proposed answers there were very convincing IMO.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
