Luke 10:38-42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village
where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary,
who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 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, but only one thing is needed or necessary. Mary has chosen what is
better, and it will not be taken away from her."
