Second Try
He put spit in the man’s eyes, laid hands on him, and asked, “Do you
see anything?” He looked up. “I see men. They look like walking
trees.” (Mark 8:23–24)
Blind then speechless. Broken bites of sound dropped from a pink
hole in his black beard. We watched Jesus lead him out of town for fear
of the crowds. Jesus spit on him! We gasped. This happened in Bethsaida.
