This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 10:40. Περιεσπᾶτο) The Greek LXX. have often in Eccl. περισπασμὸς for ענין.-οὐ μέλει σοι, hast Thou no care?) What then? Something better is an object of care to Him. Martha herself acknowledged some degree of unhappiness as existing on her part.-ἡ ἀδελφή μου, my sister) An argument as it were drawn from an injustice done to her.-κατέλιπε) She does not say, suffers me, but, has left me. Hence it may be inferred that Mary had done something in the way of διακονία, or external service, perhaps before the arrival of the Master: but presently after betook herself to devoting her whole attention to the Master.-εἰπὲ, bid her) Martha did not dare herself to order Mary.
