#119 - Jesus Heals with Spittle? - Fig Tree Five - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

Jesus heals a blind man with his saliva! What are we supposed to make of this miracle?

Why does Jesus use saliva to heal eyes, and what would that first-century audience have thought about his use of spittle?And what would be the message for a Jewish audience?

Join us as we explore the cultural context of the first-century to see what others would have thought about healing eyes with spittle.Support Fig Tree Ministries:
