\nto her one husband. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nhouse. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened

\nTell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are
\nanxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen
\nthe good portion, which shall not be taken away from
\nher.”<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
