Luke 10:40-42

40 But ¹Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me."

41 But the Lord answered and said to her, "²Martha, Martha, you are ³worried and bothered about so many things;

42 ⁴but only one thing is necessary, for ⁵Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
