“Now as they went
On their way,
Jesus entered
A certain village.
A woman
Named Martha
Welcomed him
Into her house.”
Ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά· γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι Μάρθα ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν.
Luke uniquely among the synoptics has this story of Martha and Mary. However, John, chapters 11 and 12 have these two, Martha and Mary, as sisters to Lazarus in Bethany. Here the story is just between the two sisters and their different roles. Luke said that as they went on their way (Ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς), Jesus entered a certain unnamed village (εἰσῆλθεν εἰς κώμην τινά). There a woman named Martha (γυνὴ δέ τις ὀνόματι Μάρθα) welcomed him (ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν) into her house (εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν). There was no indication if any of his disciples or apostles went with him into the house. Could this unnamed village be Bethany? Are you afraid to mention the name of your town?
