Luke 10:37-40

J.B. Phillips New Testament

³⁷ “The man who gave him practical sympathy,” he replied. “Then you go and give the same,” returned Jesus.

Yet emphasises the need for quiet listening to his words

^38-40 As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village and a woman called Martha welcomed him to her house. She had a sister by the name of Mary who settled down at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what he said. But Martha was very worried about her elaborate preparations and she burst in, saying, “Lord, don’t you mind that my sister has left me to do everything by myself? Tell her to get up and help me!”
