Luke 10:39-42

39Martha had a sister called Mary. Mary sat down near Jesus. She was listening to the things that he was teaching.

40But Martha was thinking to herself, ‘I cannot do all this work alone.’ So she went to Jesus. She said, ‘Master, my sister is not helping me with the work. She has left me to do it alone. You surely do not think that this is right! Tell her that she should help me!’

41The Lord Jesus replied, ‘Martha, Martha, you have troubles in your mind about many things.

42But only one thing is really important. That is what Mary has chosen to do. Nobody will take it away from her.’
