A hundred measures of olive oil In the context of Luke 16:6, the phrase "a hundred measures of olive oil" refers to a significant debt owed by a tenant to a landowner. The Greek term for "measures" is "batos," which is a unit of liquid measurement roughly equivalent to 8 or 9 gallons. Olive oil was a valuable commodity in ancient Israel, used for cooking, lighting, and religious rituals. This debt represents a substantial economic obligation, highlighting the wealth and resources involved in the parable. Historically, olive oil production was a labor-intensive process, and its trade was a critical part of the economy in the Mediterranean region. The mention of "a hundred measures" underscores the magnitude of the debt and sets the stage for the steward's actions in the parable.
