Mary and Martha
Luke 10:38–42
Mary, Martha, and their brother
Lazarus were friends with Jesus.
One day, Jesus came over to visit.
Mary sat at his feet and listened
to him for a long time.
Meanwhile, Martha was busy cooking and
cleaning. There was so much to do!
The longer Mary listened to Jesus,
the madder Martha got. She said,
“I am busy in the kitchen while
Mary is doing nothing!”
“Jesus, please tell my sister to help me,”
Martha whined.
“Martha, Martha,” said Jesus,
“You should not be upset.
Mary has chosen what is better.
She is listening to me.”
