Women: Mary and Martha

While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head. …

But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
