It was a way of anointing the man's eyes which were then healed miraculously.
AnswerMark 6:5-6 states that, in his own country, Jesus could do no mighty work except heal a few sick people. He marvelled at their unbelief. Read literally, this means that Jesus was powerless to perform miracles unless the people believed. Because of this need for people seeking cures to have faith, it was customary in ancient times for holy men to use spit and other tricks when curing afflictions.Two early miracles are keys to establishing the authenticity of all miraculous cures said to have been performed by Jesus. They are the cure of a deaf and dumb man (7:32) and of blind man (8:23). In these, Jesus had to use spit and even had difficulty in completing one cure successfully. The manner of performing these two cures was so orthodox that Mark is likely to have created the stories simply based on his knowledge of anecdotes about holy men in general. The only practical alternative is that Jesus had learnt magic tricks from others.
In later passages, Mark becomes more confident of Jesus' powers and not only is spit no longer needed, but the miracles become progressively more awe-inspiring, a trend reinforced in the later gospels.
There are Three separate instances of blind men being healed. Also notice Jesus healed them in a different way each time.1. John 9:6 - "After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing."2. Mark 10:52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.3. Mark 8:23-25 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" 24 He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around."25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly
In John 2, Jesus performed His first miracle. He turned water into wine at a wedding. The thing is, when you look at the way wedding were done in ancient times, they were what we would call, a big party. Dancing, drinking, singing, and more were done at a wedding. Jesus had to travel a great distance to get to this wedding, meaning that we could deduce at least two things from this. 1. That Jesus was well liked enough to know people who lived far away. Remember, they didn't hop into a taxi and get there a couple hours later, they had to take donkeys and go on foot. He must have been a good enough Guy to know these people and be invited. 2. Jesus turned water into WINE. It's not to say that Jesus was a wino, but rather the fact that the "party" was still going, and He genuinly cared enough for the bride and groom to keep the party going! I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like a stick-in-the-mud kind of Person. In Luke 10, we see that Jesus becomes with "joy from the Holy Spirit" when in the presence of children. The idea of Jesus being a stern-faced Man, who never smiled, well likely comes from our perception of Him in art, much the same way that we perceive Him as white, with brown hair and blue eyes. But imagine for a moment, just how popular of a person would be if they never smiled? Jesus was enormously popular in a lot of regions, meaning that He had to be quite a Guy.
It is important to clarify that there is no record in historical or biblical texts of Jesus killing a friend on the roof of a building. Jesus is known for his teachings of love, compassion, and forgiveness, and his actions were always in line with these principles. Any stories or claims suggesting otherwise are likely based on misunderstandings or misinterpretations.

The man is not mentioned by name. Scripture only refers to him as the man born blind that Jesus healed. Jesus spat on the ground and made clay with His saliva and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. Jesus told him to "Go wash in the pool of Siloam". When he went and washed his eyes he came back seeing. Read this account in John 9:6-34.

After spitting on the man's eyes, Jesus placed his hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"Mar 8:24 The man looked up and said, "Yes, I can see people, but they look like trees walking around."Mar 8:25 Jesus again placed his hands on the man's eyes.
