Luke 10:38 In-Context

36 Which of these three do you suppose became a neighbor of the man who fell among the robbers?"
37 So he said, "The one who showed mercy to him." And Jesus said to him, "You go and do likewise."
38 Now as they traveled along, he entered into a certain village. And a certain woman {named} Martha welcomed him.
39 And {she had} a sister named Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus [and] was listening to his teaching.
40 But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached [and] said, "Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!"
