Jesus once gently told one of His friends, “You are worried and upset about many things.” Who was it?
A) Peter
B) Martha ✓
C) Thomas
D) Mary Magdalene
A closer look
Martha had opened her home to Jesus and was busy with all the preparations, while her sister Mary sat at His feet, listening (Luke 10:38–40). When Martha asked Him to send Mary to help, Jesus answered her gently, saying her name twice.
Later, after their brother Lazarus died, Martha went out to meet Jesus and told Him, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God” (John 11:27). The friend who had once been worried about many things was holding on to the one thing that mattered.
