MARTHA AND MARY. (Luk 10:38-42)
certain village--Bethany (Joh 11:1), which Luke so speaks of, having no farther occasion to notice it.
received him . . . her house--The house belonged to her, and she appears throughout to be the older sister. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
A certain village - Bethany. See Joh 11:1. It was on the eastern declivity of the Mount of Olives. See the notes at Mat 21:1.
Received him - Received him kindly and hospitably. From this it would seem that "Martha" was properly the mistress of the house. Possibly she was a widow, and her brother Lazarus and younger sister Mary lived with her; and as "she" had the care of the household, this will also show why she was so diligently employed about domestic affairs. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Received (ὑπεδέξατο)
From ὕπο, under, and δέχομαι, to receive. Received him under her roof. Martha is marked as the head of the household. It was her house. She received the guest, and was chiefly busy with the preparations for his entertainment (Luk 10:40). |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
A certain village - If this village was Bethany, where Martha and Mary lived, at less than two miles' distance from Jerusalem, see Joh 11:1, Joh 11:18; Joh 12:2, then this must have happened later than Luke places it; because, in Luk 19:29, he represents Jesus as having arrived after this at Bethany; and what is said in Luk 13:22, and Luk 17:11, seems to confirm that this visit of Jesus to Martha and Mary ought to be placed later. Bishop Pearce.
Received him - Kindly received, ὑπεδεξατο, she received him in a friendly manner, under her roof; and entertained him hospitably. So the word is used in the best Greek writers. Martha is supposed by some to have been a widow, with whom her brother Lazarus and sister Mary lodged. |

29 And [2532] it came to pass [1096], when [5613] he was come nigh [1448] to [1519] Bethphage [967] and [2532] Bethany [963], at [4314] the mount [3735] called [2564] the mount of Olives [1636], he sent [649] two [1417] of his [846] disciples [3101],
