Two things are blameable in Martha:
1. That she made too much ado about the entertainment of our Saviour. That she entertained our Saviour she did well; but herein she erred, that she made her entertainment of him so troublesome, as it would not give her leave to take that advantage, which she might, or ought to have done, from the entertainment of a prophet.
2. That she is displeased with her sister because she would not lend her hand, but chose rather to sit at Christ's feet and hear his word, and desireth Christ to send her away to her assistance.
