Luke 10:38-42 : Jesus in the home of Mary and Martha

Study

38 It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, don't you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."

41 Jesus answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,

42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."

耶稣责备马大

By Rev. John Clowes M.A. (machine translated into 中文)

Jesus Christ with Mary and Martha

有一个简短的故事在 路加福音10:38-42在这里,耶稣正在马利亚、马大和拉撒路的家里做客--两姐妹和他们的兄弟。他们家现在很忙,因为人们都来见耶稣,并对拉撒路感到惊奇,他刚刚被耶稣从死里复活。马大正忙着招呼客人,马利亚则坐在一边听着。马大要求耶稣告诉马利亚帮助她,但令人惊讶的是,他没有这样做。相反,他温柔地责备马大的担心,并说马利亚已经 "选择了那美好的部分,这部分不会被夺走"。

从表面上看,这似乎并不公平。但在故事的内部意义上,这就是发生的事情。

在经文中 38-39当主在这个村子里停下来拜访马大和马利亚时,这意味着主被那些热爱真理和善良的人所接受。

在经文中 41-42当马大忙碌和紧张时,她代表了我们的心态,当我们处于真理的感情中,但还没有从自爱的焦虑中净化出来。然后主指示我们,我们应该注意更高的善的感情,并在我们的生活中提升它。
