She complained because Mary did nothing but sit at the feet of Jesus. Instead of rebuking her, Jesus answered: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. But...Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. (Luke 10:41)
Sa halip na sawayin siya, sumagot si Jesus: Marta, Marta naliligalig ka at nababagabag tungkol sa maraming bagay: Sapagkat…pinili ni Maria ang magaling na bahagi, na hindi aalisin sa kaniya. (Lucas 10: 41)
