Luke 14:35

German Interlinear 1979 (Interlinearübersetzung)

Was bedeutet das?

This verse talks about salt that has lost its flavor and is no longer useful for anything. It's like saying something or someone who used to have value now doesn't, so it’s thrown away. Jesus uses this analogy to teach an important lesson.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you have a bag of yummy candy, but one day the candy loses all its taste and becomes just plain old sugar. Now, nobody wants it because it's not sweet anymore. That's what Jesus is saying about salt that doesn't work right—it’s useless now.

Historischer Hintergrund

The verse comes from the Gospel of Luke, which was written by Luke, a physician and historian. It dates back to around the late first century AD. The audience would have been early Christians and Jews in the Roman Empire, where salt was valuable for flavoring food and preserving it.

Anwendung für heute

In today's world, this could mean that if you lose your passion or purpose, like a salesperson who stops caring about their job, they might not be effective anymore. Just as salt needs to have its salty taste, we need to stay true to our values and roles in life.
