Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.The story most people remember of Martha and Mary had the two in different roles. In that one, Mary was at Jesus' feet, while Martha was away in the kitchen. Martha was focused on the practical, while Mary was focused on Jesus.
Here, it seems the roles are reversed. Martha is the one focused on Jesus, and goes to Him, while Mary is focused on the facts of their brother's death and stays away. Why the change in actions between the two?
