Bible Verses About Martha

As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.

But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

So they hosted a dinner for Jesus there. Martha served, and Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with Him.
