10:38 Yeshua visits Marta and Miryam

38 When it was time to leave, Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) went into a village and there was a woman there named Marta[ref] who welcomed him in. 39 She had a sister named Miryam (Grk. Maria /Mariam) who was also sitting there on the floor by Yeshua’s feet listening to his teaching. 40 But Marta kept getting pulled away to keep the household running, and after a while approached Yeshua and asked, “Master, doesn’t it bother you that my sister has left all the housework to me? Tell her to come and help me.”

41 “Marta, Marta,” Yeshua answered, “you are worried and concerned about many things, 42 but only one thing really matters. Miryam chose the best thing, and it won’t be taken away from her.”

10:38-39: Yhn 11:1.
