Martha and Mary

38 As they traveled along, [Jesus] entered a village [where] a woman named Martha welcomed Him into [her] home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations [to be made]. She came to [Jesus] [and] said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied “you are worried and upset about many things. 42 But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, [and it] will not be taken away from her.”
