Thematic Bible: Teaches in the house of mary, martha, and lazarus (in bethany)

Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a certain village [i.e., Bethany. See John 11:1], and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister named Mary who was also sitting at the Lord's feet, listening to what He said. But Martha was preoccupied with all the preparations [i.e., for entertaining her beloved guest] and came up to Jesus and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Ask her to help me." read more.
But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about [so] many things. But only one thing is [really] needful. For Mary has made the better choice, which will not be taken away from her."
