Document Details : Title: Martha and Mary Subtitle: Why at Luke 10,38-42? Author(s): KILGALLEN, John J. Journal: Biblica Volume: 84 Issue: 4 Date: 2003 Pages: 554-561 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.84.4.3194491 Abstract : Given that Luke has wide freedom to arrange his stories as he thinks best, one looks to the material surrounding the story of Mary and Martha to better understand why that story is in its present place. It seems best to think of this story as an affirmation of the teaching of the ‘one thing necessary’, the teaching within the story of the Good Samaritan. Indeed, the Mary-Martha story underlines the Lucan emphasis on the primacy of all Jesus’ teaching. |
