Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
