Martha of Bethany is a biblical figure and sister of Mary of Bethany and Lazarus. She is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke and the Gospel of John. Martha is known for her hospitality and service, and she is described as busy with serving Jesus and his disciples. In the Gospel of John, Martha famously complains to Jesus about Mary not helping with the serving, to which Jesus responds that Mary has chosen the better part by listening to him. Martha is often contrasted with Mary, who is portrayed as the contemplative sister who chooses to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to his teachings.
