Luke 10

38

As they continued their journey he entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.

39

She had a sister named Mary (who) sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak.

40

Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me."

41

The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.

42

There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."

Lucam 10

38 Cum autem irent, ipse intravit in quoddam castellum, et mulier quaedam Martha nomine excepit illum.
39 Et huic erat soror nomine Maria, quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini audiebat verbum illius.
40 Martha autem satagebat circa frequens ministerium; quae stetit et ait: “ Domine, non est tibi curae quod soror mea reliquit me solam ministrare? Dic ergo illi, ut me adiuvet ”.
41 Et respondens dixit illi Dominus: “ Martha, Martha, sollicita es et turbaris erga plurima,
42 porro unum est necessarium; Maria enim optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea ”.
