Chapter 10

Jesus and his disciples came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

JESUS VISITS
MARY & MARTHA

[etabeta]

Stunning stained glass windows!
Favorites among favorites are: #1 Lindsley
#3 Copping
#5 by the French artist Leroy, noted for his depiction of the Eastern world (In art history, the term Orientalism refers to the works of mostly 19th-century Western artists who specialized in Oriental subjects, produced from their travels in Western Asia, during the 19th century)
#15 Siemiradzki -
#31 Tissot
#33 HOle
#37 Simon Dewey

[BenLurkin]

All wonderful. The Velasquez is intriguing. Thank you for posting.

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a happy weekend to each gallery visitor.
So many fine choices today;
#3 Copping
#15 Siemiradzki
#32 Kruseman
And several real beauties ‘unattributed’
With many stunning windows also.

Thank You Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Got it narrowed down to just seven faves, eh, Alba!?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you approve, Ben.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Grab some, Leon, to keep at home!

[InkStone]

We’re indebted to you etabeta, for your teaching. Thank you.
Each time I read your comments, I go back to the ones you mention; “Oh, I see it now.”

[etabeta]

I could have named many more!

[etabeta]

Thanks, InkStone!
The Leroy painting is great. The details of the carpet on the wall are extraordinary, its colors and those of the garments so vivid. A great painting.

[left that other site]

One of my favorite stories! (Perhaps because I hate housework, and would much rather be sitting at the feet of Jesus than washing dishes)

#5 is Lovely.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Martha and Mary-Lou................................

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Dan! Thanks very mch for the bounty of Biblical Art! James Tissot, Gustave Dore, William Brassey Hole and William Blake all in the same array - most impressive!

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[wardaddy]

Martha?

Stumped admittedly

[Hebrews 11:6]

James Tissot, Gustave Dore, William Brassey Hole and William Blake

A winter-league grand slam, Tom.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Martha of Bethany's sister was Mary and her brother was Lazarus (yes, that Lazarus).

If you watch The Chosen, we met her a couple of weeks ago in Episode 3.

[left that other site]

LOL.

[wardaddy]

As a southern Baptist we didn’t go much past The Mary

And I think Salome is that right her sister

[Scott from the Left Coast]

The Siedmiradzki really jumps out, a number of other fine works on this subject, but that one I keep coming back to.
