|
| 38 | While they were on their way Jesus came to a village where a woman named Martha made him welcome in her home. | Visiting Martha and Mary Lk.10.38-42 (Bethany) | Ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά· γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι Μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτόν. |
|
| 39 | She had a sister, Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and stayed there listening to his words. | | καὶ τῇδε ἦν ἀδελφὴ καλουμένη Μαριάμ, ἣ καὶ παρακαθεσθεῖσα πρὸς τοὺς πόδας τοῦ κυρίου ἠκουεν τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ. |
|
| 40 | Now Martha was distracted by her many tasks, so she came to him and said, 'Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to get on with the work by myself? Tell her to come and lend a hand.' | | ἡ δὲ Μάρθα περιεσπᾶτο περὶ πολλὴν διακονίαν· ἐπιστᾶσα δὲ εἶπεν, Κύριε, οὐ μέλει σοι ὅτι ἡ ἀδελφή μου μόνην με κατέλιπεν διακονεῖν; εἰπὲ οὖν αὐτῇ ἵνα μοι συναντιλάβηται. |
|
| 41 | But the Lord answered, 'Martha, Martha, you are fretting and fussing about so many things; | | ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ κύριος, Μάρθα Μάρθα, μεριμνᾷς καὶ θορυβάζῃ περὶ πολλά, |
|
| 42 | but one thing is necessary. Some witnesses read: but few things are necessary, or rather, one alone; others omit: you are fretting ... necessary. The part that Mary has chosen is best; and it shall not be taken away from her.'
| | ἑνὸς δέ ἐστιν χρεία· Μαριὰμ γὰρ τὴν ἀγαθὴν μερίδα ἐξελέξατο ἡτις οὐκ ἀφαιρεθήσεται αὐτῆς. |
