Women of the Bible Podcast – Episode #21 – Martha and Mary of Bethany
By Susan Bailey • Sep 13th, 2009 • Category: Columnists, Susan Bailey
Scene 21: Martha and Mary of Bethany (Martha and Lazarus’ Sister) (Luke 10:38-42) – Martha (as in Martha Stewart!) is passionate about many inconsequential things. But she stops multi-tasking long enough to “get it” about Jesus’ message. Mary of Bethany, Martha’s sister is head-over-feet for Jesus and washes them with her hair. She is so grateful that Jesus has raised her brother Lazarus from the dead!
