Die Gleichnisse Jesu
The Parable of the Salt
Jesus ends his speech with a short parable about salt that loses its power and becomes useless – neither for soil nor for a manure heap – and urges those who have ears to listen.
Lukas 14,34-35
34Salt is good, but if salt loses its taste, how can it be made salty again?
Καλὸν ⸀οὖν τὸ ἅλας· ἐὰν δὲ ⸀καὶ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ, ἐν τίνι ἀρτυθήσεται;
35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
οὔτε εἰς γῆν οὔτε εἰς κοπρίαν εὔθετόν ἐστιν· ἔξω βάλλουσιν αὐτό. ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
