# Salt is good

"Salt is useful." Jesus is teaching a lesson about those who want to be his disciple. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# how can it be made salty again?

Jesus uses a question to teach the crowd. Alternate translation: "it cannot be made salty again." or "no one can make it salty again." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
