Bible Question:
1)how were the two sisters different? Luke 10:38-42 kjv 2)why did Jesus call what Mary did "better" (verse, 42 niv) Luke 10:42 |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Mary and Martha were different in that Marh was impassioned and imaginative while Martha was practical and unemotional. Martha was probably the older one and the home maker. In this passage Martha became upset that Mary sat at the Lord's feet listening to His teaching while she was doing all the work. Martha complained to Jesus about this. Jesus told her that Mary was doing the better thing because she was concentrating on that thing which could not be taken away from her. Jesus was more interested in food for the soul rather than food for the body. What Martha was concentrating on was something that could be done anytime. prayon |
