Martha

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me.

And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things:

Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and of Martha her sister.

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister Mary and Lazarus.

And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.

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

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

For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.

Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.

And they made him a supper there: and Martha served. But Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
