John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 10:42

42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Ver. 42. But one thing is necessary ] That bonum hominis, good of humanity, Micah 6:8 , that totum hominis, Ecclesiastes 12:13 ; the happiness, the whole of a man, viz. to hear the word of God and keep it. The original hath it thus, there is need of one thing; that is, say some, of one dish only: but the other sense is the better. That good part ] Non tu malam, sed illa meliorem, ... read more

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

§ 99. JESUS RECEIVED INTO MARTHA’S HOUSE MARTHA AND MARY, Luke 10:38-42 . The document which Luke here uses names no place, as he narrates not so much for the story as for the lesson it inculcates. If from the parable of the good Samaritan any one should infer that all religion consisted in outward works of benevolence, let him learn from the example of Mary, and the rebuke of Martha, that outward performance must be based upon an inner work. Let no man despise the studies of the priest or... read more

41. Martha, Martha There is a solemn reproof in this repetition. It implies a doubt and a danger. Careful and troubled To be the best housekeeper in town adorns the Christian piety of a lady, if it in no way encroaches upon and destroys it.

We venture... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 10:42

42. One thing is needful That is, one thing is a necessity. Your mind, in attending to a multiplicity, is forgetting the great one. These are desirable; that is indispensable. To make Jesus here say, as some commentators do, that but one dish instead of many is needful, is scarce less than burlesque; and such an interpretation should be carried out by making Mary’s good part signify the best bit in the dish! How unjustifiable is this low interpretation, (ancient though it... read more
