An incident that helps establish priories
happened in the home of Martha, at Bethany, a follower of Jesus.
Her younger sister, Mary, sat at Jesus' feet and listened to His
teaching. Martha wanted to provide an elaborate meal for Jesus and
complained that her younger sister was not helping her and asked Jesus
to intervene. Jesus tenderly explained to Martha, that Mary had
chosen to learn from Him, which was the more important choice at that time.
Jesus affirmed Mary in a discipleship role, with equality- the priority
of personal relationship with Christ, a role usually reserved by
Jewish men and their Rabbis.
