The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 10:38-42

Mary and Martha. v. 38. Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house. v. 39. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. v. 40. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to Him and said, Lord, dost Thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me. v. 41. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha,... read more

2. Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42)38Now it came to pass, as they went [were journeying], that he entered into a certain 39village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care41that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

Learning the Lord’s Secrets Luke 10:38-42 ; Luke 11:1-4 This Bethany idyl follows the story of the Good Samaritan naturally. The village lay at the end of the long pass from Jericho. Love must have its nest and the special objects of its tender care. We cannot live in the inn always; we must come at last to our home, either in this world or the next. He who had welcomed the crowds was now welcomed for His own dear sake. Martha and Mary each gave of her best. Each had her own sphere; one... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 10:1-42

The mission of the seventy is recorded only by Luke. They went forth, sent by Jesus. They returned glad in the victories they had wrought in His name. He received them, and declared to them the whole truth concerning the kingdom of evil, in the words, "I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven," and then warned them not to rejoice in their apparent success, but rather in their relationship to that kingdom from which Satan had fallen. A lawyer asked Him, 'Who is my neighbour?" and the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 10:38-42

Martha and Mary Luke 10:38-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. We have before us the human Christ. When we say the human Christ, we do not mean that He was a continuation of the Adamic race and nature. Adam was the first man: Jesus Christ, the Second. Adam was the head of one race; Jesus Christ is the Head of another race. In Adam all die; in Christ all are made alive. Jesus Christ did not have a human nature in the sense that nature is defined in the dictionary as "belonging or relating to man."... read more

THE TWO SISTERS‘Now it came to pass, as they went, that He entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received Him into her house,’ etc. Luke 10:38-: This home of the two sisters is but the type of every Christian home, where Christ is or ought to be a perpetual guest, to be listened to with the inward service of Mary, or worked for with the active service of Martha. Every family is interested in this story, and perhaps needs in different ways its warning. I. These are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:1-42

Jesus Sets His Face Towards Jerusalem Followed By Centring on the Lord’s Prayer For The Evangelisation of the World (9:51-11:54). This section commences with Jesus setting His face towards Jerusalem because the time for Him to be received up (as mentioned in Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44) is approaching, and it centres around the Lord’s Prayer for the evangelisation of the world (Luke 11:1-4) which is exemplified throughout. This is apparent from an analysis: a ‘And it came about when the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:38-42

At Home With Martha and Mary (10:38-42). As Luke is building up to the eventual giving of the Lord’s Prayer (Luke 11:1-4) we have seen how He has prepared for ‘Father’ (Luke 10:21-22; Luke 11:11-13), and ‘Hallowed be your name, your Kingly Rule come’ (Luke 9:52 to Luke 10:20). He has also given an example of a man who had forgiven the one who had trespassed against him. We now have the first of two passages which cover, ‘give us today tomorrow’s bread’. In this first passage Jesus is provided... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:41

‘But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,” ’ Jesus replies gently but firmly. The double use of her name, "Martha, Martha", indicates His caring attitude, as such a phenomenon does elsewhere (see Luke 6:46; Luke 8:24; Luke 13:34; Luke 22:31). The Lord sympathises with her for her busyness, and the effort that she is putting in. But at the same time the narrative draws attention to the fact that the cares of this world are preventing... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:42

“But one thing is needful (some see it as ‘only one course of food is needful’), for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” He then points out that Mary is busy about something better, ‘the one thing needful’. She has chosen the better part. She has chosen to feed on His word. And that is so important that it must take precedence. It must not be taken away from her. She will have many opportunities to cook and prepare once He has gone, but she will have few to... read more
