Spit, spat, spot in the bible?

My husband said that the word "spot" is used as a past tense of spit in the bible, but I have looked everywhere and all I can find is "spit, spat, sput". Does anyone know if it ever said spit, spat, spot? Or was it always "spit, spit, sput?

    The only time it uses "spot" is referring to "spilos or aspilos" (as in spotless the latter)

    NOT used for the verb: spit.

    I have several translations and I don't even know if sput is used. It always seems to be spit.

    If you spit in the air, it lands in your face sometimes.

    That's all I know.

    Don't recall it ever saying "spot," but I've only read the NIV and NKJV versions.

    one way to be certain is to read it.
