Luke 9:25

9:25 For what does it benefit a person ¹  if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

Luke 13:21

13:21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with ²  three measures ³  of flour until all the dough had risen.” ⁴ 

[9:25]  ¹ tn Grk “a man,” but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to refer to both men and women.

[13:21]  ² tn Grk “hid in.”

[13:21]  ³ sn This measure was a saton, the Greek name for the Hebrew term “seah.” Three of these was a very large quantity of flour, since a saton is a little over 16 lbs (7 kg) of dry measure (or 13.13 liters). So this was over 47 lbs (21 kg) of flour total, enough to feed over a hundred people.

[13:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “it was all leavened.”
