Martha

Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:

Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.

Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

(Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)

Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been dead four days.

So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him.
