Luke 10:37–42
37He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him,“Go and do likewise.”↗
38As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.↗
39She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.↗
40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”↗
41Jesus answered her,“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,↗
42but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”↗
