It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of spitting, often in a context of disdain or rejection. This action can symbolize contempt or a strong negative reaction, reflecting cultural attitudes towards spitting as an expression of scorn.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, spitting was considered an act of contempt or insult. It was a physical expression of disdain, often used to humiliate or show rejection. In the context of the New Testament, spitting could also be associated with ritual impurity, as bodily fluids were often considered unclean.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to spit<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>spat (1), spitting (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4429: πτύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πτύω</span></span>: ((Latin<span class="latin">spuo</span>, our<span class="latin">spue</span>; <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 382)); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐπτυσα</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to spit</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-33.htm">Mark 7:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-23.htm">Mark 8:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/9-6.htm">John 9:6</a>.
