Now it came to pass, as they went, that Jesus Himself entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also, sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus, heard His word. But Martha was busy about much serving; and she stood and said: 'Lord, hast Thou no care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.' And the Lord answering said to her: 'Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things. But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best part, which shall not be taken from her.'
