Usage: The term σάτον is used in the New Testament to describe a specific quantity of flour or grain, particularly in the context of parables and teachings of Jesus. Context: The Greek word σάτον appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' parables, specifically in Matthew 13:33 and Luke 13:21. In these passages, Jesus uses the measure of σάτον to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven. The parable describes a woman who mixes leaven into three measures of flour (σάτα τρία) until it is all leavened. This imagery conveys the transformative and pervasive nature of the Kingdom of Heaven, suggesting that even a small beginning can lead to a significant and comprehensive change.
