In the 10th chapter of Luke, there is a story about two sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the village of Bethany with their brother Lazarus. In the account Jesus and some of his disciples stopped by their home for a visit. A passage in the 11th chapter of John indicates that they were good friends of Jesus, so perhaps he visited them frequently. During this visit Martha rushed around making preparations to serve her guests while Mary simply sat down to hear what Jesus had to say. When she complained to Jesus that Mary left her to do all of the work Jesus said, “Martha, Martha you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better” (Luke 10:41).
