39She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
40But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
41“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
42But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
— Luke 10:39-42
