Martha and Mary

³⁸ While they were travelling, he entered a village, and a woman named Martha^(A) welcomed him into her home.^{[a] 39} She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s^[b] feet^(B) and was listening to what he said.^{[c] 40} But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, ‘Lord, don’t you care^(C) that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.’^[d](D)

⁴¹ The Lord^[e] answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things,^{(E) 42} but one thing is necessary.^[f](F) Mary has made the right choice,^[g] and it will not be taken away from her.’
