Luke 10:38-42

Young's Literal Translation

³⁸ And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

³⁹ and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

⁴⁰ and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

⁴² but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'
