69:1
Luc. x. 38-42. Factum est autem dum irent, et ipse Jesus intravit in quoddam castellum: et mulier quaedam Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam. Et huic erat soror nomine Maria; quae etiam sedens secus pedes Domini Jesu, audiebat verbum illius. 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 adjuvet. Et respondens dixit illi Dominus: Martha, sollicita es, et turbaris erga plurima. Porro unum est necessarium. Maria optimam partem elegit, quae non auferetur ab ea.
Now it came to pass, as they went, that Jesus Himself entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also, sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus, heard His word. But Martha was busy about much serving; and she stood and said: 'Lord, hast Thou no care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.' And the Lord answering said to her: 'Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things. But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best part, which shall not be taken from her.'
他們走路的時候，耶穌進了一個村莊。有一個女人，名叫馬大，接祂到自己家裡。她有一個妹子，名叫馬利亞，也坐在主耶穌腳前聽祂的道。馬大伺候的事多，心裡忙亂，就站著說：「主啊，我的妹子留下我一個人伺候，你不在意嗎？請吩咐她來幫助我。」主回答說：「馬大，馬大，你為許多的事思慮煩擾，但是不可少的只有一件。馬利亞已經選擇那上好的福分，是不能奪去的。」
