She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.
40 But Martha was encumbered with much serving, and came to Him and said, "Lord, dost Thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me."

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things,
42 But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
