The story: Martha received Jesus into her house, and her sister Mary sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. Martha was cumbered (weighed down) about much serving and asked Jesus to bid Mary help her. Jesus answered, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
