Martha and Mary
38 Now as they traveled along, he entered into a certain village. And a certain woman named[a] Martha welcomed him.[b] 39 And she had[c] a sister named Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus[d] and[e] was listening to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much preparation, so she approached and[f] said, “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me alone to make preparations? Then tell her that she should help me!”

At the Home of Martha and Mary
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha(A) opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary,(B) who sat at the Lord’s feet(C) listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care(D) that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
