Luke 10:40-42

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴⁰ But Martha [overly occupied and too busy] was distracted with much serving; and she came up to Him and said, Lord, is it nothing to You that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me [to lend a hand and do her part along with me]!

⁴¹ But the Lord replied to her by saying, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;

⁴² There is need of only one or but ^[a]a few things. Mary has chosen the good portion [^[b]that which is to her advantage], which shall not be taken away from her.
