Martha

Sister of Mary and Lazarus, known for serving Jesus and for her great confession of faith.

Martha welcomed Jesus and was ‘distracted by much serving,’ while her sister Mary sat at his feet; Jesus gently taught her about what matters most.

When Lazarus died, Martha confessed, ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God’—one of the Gospel’s clearest professions of faith.
