In Jewish Custom, it is Believed that there is power in the spittle of a FIRST born.
COL 1;18 Confirms this, And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
1:19 For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness of The Godhead to dwell in Him-Christ!
Jesus by spitting not only
declares him to be the RISEN Lord and the will be First Born first, it also
points the the future resurrection of the dead starting with His own resurrection.
It shows how His power will be used to raise man(dust) out of our eternal misery of damnation through His resurrection.
