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.”

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

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.

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.

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.

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

And I think Salome is that right her sister

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