As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to
a village where a woman named Martha welcomed them into her home. Her sister,
Mary, sat at the Lord's feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was worrying
over the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, "Lord, doesn't it
seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her
to come and help me." But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you are so upset over
all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about.
Mary has discovered it – and I won't take it away from her." / Luke 10:38-42 New Living
