10:39 By doing this Mary identified herself as one of Jesus' disciples, and the fact that Jesus allowed this and defended her action shows that he accepted her as such. It may be that Martha's concern was more about this breaking of normal social protocol than for kitchen help, and that her complaint to Jesus was more of an excuse. Jesus' reply indicates that Mary's choice to be his disciple was more important, calling it the right thing that wouldn't be taken away from her.

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη Μαριάμ

and ˱to˲_this_‹woman› ˱she˲_was /a/_sister /being/_called Mary

This introduces Mary as a new character. Alternate translation: [Now Martha had a sister whose name was Mary]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καλουμένη Μαριάμ

/being/_called Mary

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [whose name was Mary]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ Ἰησοῦ

/having_been/_seated_beside at the feet the ˱of˲_Jesus

This was the customary and respectful position for a learner at this time. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [she sat respectfully on the floor near Jesus to learn from him]

Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants

τοῦ Ἰησοῦ

the ˱of˲_Jesus

See the discussion of textual issues at the end of the General Notes to this chapter to decide whether to use this reading in your translation, or another reading, “the Lord.” The note below discusses a translation issue in that reading, for those who decide to include it.

τοῦ Ἰησοῦ

the ˱of˲_Jesus

If you use the variant reading “the Lord” at this place in your translation, you may wish to indicate that this is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. Alternate translation: [the Lord Jesus]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἤκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ

/was/_hearing the word ˱of˲_him
