Luke 10:38-42
21st Century King James Version
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His Word.
40 But Martha was encumbered with much serving, and came to Him and said, “Lord, dost Thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.”
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, “Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things.
42 But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
