10:38 他們走路的時候，耶穌進了一個村莊。有一個女人，名叫馬大，接他到自己家裡。
10:39 她有一個妹子，名叫馬利亞，在耶穌腳前坐著聽他的道。
10:40 馬大伺候的事多，心裡忙亂，就進前來，說：「主啊，我的妹子留下我一個人伺候，你不在意嗎？請吩咐她來幫助我。」
10:41 耶穌回答說：「馬大！馬大！你為許多的事思慮煩擾，
10:42 但是不可少的只有一件；馬利亞已經選擇那上好的福分，是不能奪去的。」
38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[f] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

許多靈修的作品都用這段話告訴讀者：要與主耶穌親近，就是上好的福分！
其實上好的福分，不是人爭取來的，是主耶穌主動賜給人的。是上帝主動與人和好，是上帝主動解決人罪惡的問題，世人脫離罪和死的權勢，不再受邪惡的力量轄制，因為有一天惡者必完全被敗壞，人要完全得贖的！
也因此我們要像希伯來書作者所說：「…就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌（或譯：仰望那將真道創始成終的耶穌）。他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在上帝寶座的右邊。」(12:1-2)
如此，我們就必享受上好的福分，是不能奪去的！
