Jan 2nd AD 32
All I can say is, ‘Please do not try this at home’ said a leading doctor today. Over the
last few days there has been a spate of people spitting and claiming it cures
all ills. Given we all know the risks of spitting, why has this become a
problem of epidemic proportions?
It would appear that the disreputable, nomadic preacher
‘Jesus of Nazereth’ is at the root of this current craze. The first incident
occurred somewhere between Sidon and Galilee in the district of Ten Towns.
Jesus was seen to stick his fingers in a man’s ears and spitting on to his
tongue! This man was supposedly deaf and mute and ‘cured’ by these actions.
The
second incident occurred at Betsaida. It is reported that Jesus attempted to
take a blind man from the sight of villagers, however they followed and were
disgusted to see Jesus spit in his eyes. Jesus was clearly aware that this behaviour would lead to significant criticism as he asked both people not to talk about them.
The increasing disreputable behaviour of this self-styled rabbi is leading to a lot of concern amongst the authorities. In the meantime one can only hope that no-one tries to copy his erratic behaviour.
