Modern presuppositions about women’s domestic roles have often imagined Martha’s “preparations” to be related to food, placing her in the kitchen in this scene. Food, however, does not seem to be at play. Martha is the householder (Luke 10:38) and the many “preparations” which distract her are rendered by the Greek word <i>diakonia</i>, a word used for services often associated with a particular office of an association, leading some commentators to imagine Martha’s business to be related to helping Jesus’ movement.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>To simplify, this is frequently interpreted as <a href="/wiki/Spirituality" title="Spirituality">spiritual values</a> being more important than material business, such as preparation of food. Two different words describe her distress – "worry", and "distract" – and Luke accordingly doubles her name and uses alliteration to draw attention to her anxious behavior (Greek: Μάρθα Μάρθα μεριμνᾷς, <i>Martha, Martha, merimnas</i> in Luke 10:41). </p><p><a href="/wiki/Origen" title="Origen">Origen</a> (died 253) “Action and contemplation do not exist one without the other.”[1] He pictured Martha as representing a fledging Christian still largely concerned with the practical life while Mary represented the mature Christian. One necessarily grew from one to the other but did not abandon action and service.

On the other hand, Mary’s decision to remain at the feet of Jesus represents the church of the future because being in the presence of Jesus will continue into the next world. Susan Rakoczy points out that this might have been an expression of Augustine’s own desire to spend more time in contemplation and prayer rather than being consumed with the busy work of a church leader and theologian.

He used source <i>A</i> to write Luke 9:51–10:42 as the main account (ending with Jesus's visit to Mary and Martha's village, identified as Bethany as in John 11–12), and source <i>B</i> to write Luke 17:11–19:28 as either an amplified retelling of <i>A</i>, or a supplement to <i>A</i>. Rather than trying to integrate the two sources into a single account of the journey, the author kept the accounts separate to ensure that the "episodes would be in correct sequence". Lastly, the verses Luke 11:1–17:11 between <i>A</i> and <i>B</i> are not part of Jesus's journey to Jerusalem, Ogg contended: "Essentially Luke xi. 1—xvii. 10 is a record of activities of Jesus during his ministry in Galilee, Phoenicia and the Decapolis and prior to his final departure from Galilee for Jerusalem."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEOgg197139–53_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEOgg197139–53-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_depictions">Later depictions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jesus_at_the_home_of_Martha_and_Mary&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Later depictions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Art">Art</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jesus_at_the_home_of_Martha_and_Mary&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Art"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa,_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa%2C_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg/220px-Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa%2C_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="128" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa%2C_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg/330px-Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa%2C_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa%2C_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg/440px-Cristo_en_casa_de_Marta_y_Mar%C3%ADa%2C_by_Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez.jpg 2x" data-file-width="7290" data-file-height="4226" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Christ_in_the_House_of_Martha_and_Mary_(Vel%C3%A1zquez)" title="Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (Velázquez)"><i>Christ in the House of Martha and Mary</i></a>, <a href="/wiki/Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez" title="Diego Velázquez">Velázquez</a>, 1618</figcaption></figure> <p>The episode is mostly found in the <a href="/wiki/Life_of_Christ_in_art" title="Life of Christ in art">life of Christ in art</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Counter-Reformation" title="Counter-Reformation">Counter-Reformation</a> onwards, especially in the 17th century, when the domestic setting is usually given a realistic depiction, and the subject appears as a single work rather than in cycles of the <i><a href="/wiki/Life_of_Christ_in_art" title="Life of Christ in art">Life of Christ</a></i>, or the life of Mary Magdalene.

Many paintings show Mary washing, or just having washed, Jesus's feet, recalling the story in John 12.1–8 (which seems to be about Mary of Bethany). Via the story in Luke 7.36–50 (about an unnamed 'sinful woman'), however, Mary of Bethany was often conflated with Mary Magdalene, and this too may be reflected in art.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESchiller1971158–159_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchiller1971158–159-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Artists depicting the subject include <a href="/wiki/Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez" title="Diego Velázquez">Velázquez</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rembrandt" title="Rembrandt">Rembrandt</a>, <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer" title="Johannes Vermeer">Vermeer</a>, <a href="/wiki/Caravaggio" title="Caravaggio">Caravaggio</a> and <a href="/wiki/Peter_Paul_Rubens" title="Peter Paul Rubens">Rubens</a>. </p><p>Individual works with articles include: </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Christ_in_the_House_of_Martha_and_Mary_(Vel%C3%A1zquez)" title="Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (Velázquez)"><i>Christ in the House of Martha and Mary</i></a> – an early work by the Spanish painter <a href="/wiki/Diego_Vel%C3%A1zquez" title="Diego Velázquez">Velázquez</a></li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Christ_in_the_House_of_Martha_and_Mary_(Vermeer)" title="Christ in the House of Martha and Mary (Vermeer)">Christ in the House of Martha and Mary</a></i> – by <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Vermeer" title="Johannes Vermeer">Vermeer</a></li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Christ_at_the_home_of_Mary_and_Martha" title="Christ at the home of Mary and Martha">Christ at the home of Mary and Martha</a></i> – by <a href="/wiki/Henry_Ossawa_Tanner" title="Henry Ossawa Tanner">Henry Ossawa Tanner</a>, 1905.</li></ul> <p>A variant subject, without Christ, is exemplified by <a href="/wiki/Caravaggio" title="Caravaggio">Caravaggio</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Martha_and_Mary_Magdalene_(Caravaggio)" title="Martha and Mary Magdalene (Caravaggio)">Martha and Mary Magdalene</a></i>.
