American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
But Martha was {Greek: distracted.}cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
But the Lord answered and said unto her, {A few ancient authorities read Martha, Martha, thou art troubled. Mary hath chosen &c.}Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:
{Many ancient authorities read but few things are needful, or one.}but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
