LUKE 10:40 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.”
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 was distracted (periespa, dragged around, distracted) by all the preparations: the hospitality work that welcomed Jesus is now competing with receiving Jesus. She came to him and asked: the complaint is addressed to Jesus, not to Mary. Don't you care is the exasperated host's question.
