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)
