Verse 39
Mary (or Miriam, cf. Luke 1:27; et al.) took the traditional place of a disciple seating herself at Jesus’ feet to listen and learn (cf. Acts 22:3). Normally rabbis did not permit women to do this in Jesus’ day. [Note: Liefeld, "Luke," p. 944.] The title "Lord" further stresses the authority of Jesus to which Mary symbolically submitted by sitting at His feet.
