Did Jesus really get baptized?When Jesus comes to John to be baptized, his response is "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

Did Jesus really spit in a man's eyes?In Mark 8, we find a miracle that we find strange on multiple levels. First, Jesus spits on the man's eyes to heal him, which is unusual.
