Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 10:41

But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.The one thing needful ... This can be nothing except hearing the word of the Lord; that is what Mary was doing, and it was the thing which Jesus refused to interrupt on behalf of lesser human obligation. The application is timeless: whatever the duties of men, whether real or imagined,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:38-39

Luke 10:38-39. Now it came to pass, &c.— Now, &c. As they journied. Our Lord in his way to Jerusalem, whither he was going to celebrate the feast of dedication, spent a night at Bethany, the village of Martha and Mary, two religious women, sisters of Lazarus. See John 11:1. On this occasion Martha expressed her regard for her divine Guest, by the care that she was at in providing the best entertainment in her power for him and his disciples; but Mary, the other sister, sat quietly at... read more

Luke 10:40. But Martha was cumbered— The word περιεσπατο properly signifies "to be drawn as it were different ways at the same time," and admirably expresses the situation of a mind surrounded by so many objectsof care, that it hardly knows which to attend to first.

Luke 10:41. And troubled— The word τυρβαζη is no where else used in the New Testament. It seems to express the situation ofa person in a tumultuous crowd, where so many are pressing upon him, that he can scarcely stand his ground;—or, of water in great agitation. See Mintert and Stockius on the word. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 10:42

Luke 10:42. But one thing is needful:— "There is one thing absolutely necessary, and of infinitely greater importance than any of those domestic and secular affairs; even the care to have the soul instructed in the saving knowledge of the way that leads to eternal life, and to secure a title to it. And Mary is wisely attending to this; therefore, instead of reproving her, I must rather declare, that she has chosen what may eminently be called the good part, which shall not be taken away from... read more

2. The relation of disciples to Jesus 10:38-42This is another incident involving women who became disciples of Jesus (cf. Luke 8:1-3; et al.). Like the parable of the Good Samaritan it shows Jesus overcoming prejudice. As the former parable illustrated the meaning of the second commandment, this one elucidates the first commandment. Jesus had claimed to be the revealer of God to humankind (Luke 10:22). Now the disciples learned again the importance of listening to Him (cf. Luke 8:1-21; et... read more
