Jesus came to visit His friends Mary and Martha.
Martha was super busy cooking and cleaning. Mary sat at Jesus' feet and listened to Him.
Martha got upset. “Jesus, tell Mary to help me!” Jesus said kindly, “Martha, you're worried about many things. Mary chose the best thing: spending time with me.”
