Martha

On their way Yeshua and his talmidim came to a village where a woman named Marta welcomed him into her home.

But Marta was busy with all the work to be done; so, going up to him, she said, “Sir, don’t you care that my sister has been leaving me to do all the work by myself?”

However, the Lord answered her, “Marta, Marta, you are fretting and worrying about so many things!

There was a man who had fallen sick. His name was El‘azar, and he came from Beit-Anyah, the village where Miryam and her sister Marta lived.

Yeshua loved Marta and her sister and El‘azar;

and many of the Judeans had come to Marta and Miryam in order to comfort them at the loss of their brother.

So when Marta heard that Yeshua was coming, she went out to meet him; but Miryam continued sitting shiv‘ah in the house.

Marta said to Yeshua, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

Marta said, “I know that he will rise again at the Resurrection on the Last Day.”

Yeshua had not yet come into the village but was still where Marta had met him;

Yeshua said, “Take the stone away!” Marta, the sister of the dead man, said to Yeshua, “By now his body must smell, for it has been four days since he died!”

so they gave a dinner there in his honor. Marta served the meal, and El‘azar was among those at the table with him.
