Jesus Visits Martha and Mary

38 As Jesus and his disciples went along, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him [fn]into her home. 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at [fn]Jesus' feet and listened to what he was saying. 40 But Martha was distracted by the many preparations that had to be made. So she came up to Jesus and said, “Lord, do yoʋ not care that my sister has left me to make all the preparations alone? Tell her then to assist me.” 41 But [fn]Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, yoʋ are anxious and troubled about many things, 42 but only [fn]one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
