Ir was about this time that Jesus found Himself scolded by one of the best friends He had in the world. That was Martha, the sister of Lazarus and of Mary, who lived in Bethany.
For a long time the four had been good friends. At the very outset of his ministry Jesus had met the gentle, shy Lazarus, who took Him home for supper one night and introduced Him to his sisters. Ever since that night they had all adopted Jesus into the family. Whenever He came near Bethany, which is only a few miles from Jerusalem, He must stay with them. It was in the synagogue near their home that Jesus had engaged in that breathless colloquy with the heckling lawyer and silenced him with a story destined for immortality-the parable of the Good Samaritan.
