description: (hide) Jesus gently reprimanded Martha, explaining to her the "one thing [that] is needed." Martha, as well as Mary, had been an ardent disciple of Jesus, having been "at His feet" eagerly embracing His teachings, but her own self-imposed agenda of physical service blinded her to some of the more important spiritual priorities of listening to and absorbing His word.
