Luke 10:38-42

38 And it came to pass as they went that *he* entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, Martha by name, received him into her house.

39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of Jesus was listening to his word.

40 Now Martha was distracted with much serving, and coming up she said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Speak to her therefore that she may help me.

41 But Jesus answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things;

42 but there is need of one, and Mary has chosen the good part, the which shall not be taken from her.
