New Testament Bible Study Assignment
Passage: Luke 10:38-42


Instructions:
For this assignment, you will be studying a story from the Gospels. More specifically, you will
be studying Jesus9 encounter with Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42. You will use the template
below in order to complete a study of this passage. In your study, you will use the skills of
Observation, Interpretation, Correlation, and Application that you have become familiar with
through your reading in Everyday Bible Study.


I. Observation

A. I have read Luke 10:38-42 in both a formal translation (KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, or CSB)
and a functional translation (NIV, NLT, or NCV). Highlight the correct answer.

(You will find a copy of the NASB, ESV, CSB, and NLT in your WORDsearch Library.
I would suggest the NASB, ESV, or CSB for your formal translation and the NLT for
your functional translation. These four translations are available in your
WORDsearch library.)

o Yes
o No


B. Having read the passage in both formal and functional translation, list at least 2 similarities
and 3 differences between the way both translations cover this story. You may list as many
similarities and differences that you find as long as you meet the minimum amount.

a. Similarity 3 Both translations note that specifically Martha welcomed Jesus into her
home. Mary is not mentioned until after Martha has welcomed Jesus into her home.

b. Similarity 3 Both translations pointedly state that Mary <sat at the Lord9s feet= to
listen to Jesus9 teaching.

c. Similarity 3 In both the ESV and NLT, Martha commands Jesus to tell Mary to
assist her in serving. Martha does not tell Mary directly.

d. Similarity 3 Both translations recognize that the one <thing= (NLT) or <good
portion= (ESV) that Mary has chosen <will not be taken away from her.= The
translation is exactly the same for this specific phrase.

, e. Difference 3 The ESV doesn9t state where Jesus and his disciples (<they= in the
ESV) were traveling when they stopped in Mary and Martha9s village, but the NLT
notes that they were on their way to Jerusalem.

f. Difference 3 The NLT says that Martha welcomes Jesus and all of his disciples into
her home while the ESV translation states that Martha welcomed only Jesus into her
house.

g. Difference 3 The ESV text recognizes that Martha was distracted with <much
serving= while the NLT indicates that Martha was distracted by a big dinner that she
was preparing.

h. Difference 3 In the ESV, Jesus tells Martha that she is <anxious= and <troubled=
about <many things.= In the NLT, Jesus says that Martha is <worried= and <upset=
over <all these details.= Although these words are different, they indicate that
Martha is preoccupied with her service.



C. Identify the basic elements of the story you are studying

1. Main characters: (List them)

Jesus, Mary, and Martha

2. Plot: (50-100 words)

Jesus and his disciples stop at a village in the midst of their travels, and a woman named
Martha welcomes them into her home. Mary sits at Jesus9 feet and listens to his teaching
while Martha focuses on serving. Martha, thinking that it is unfair for her to work alone,
commands Jesus to tell Mary to help her serve. Instead, Jesus tells Martha that she is
worried and anxious about serving while Mary has made a good decision by sitting at the
Lord9s feet. Jesus says the <good portion= that Mary chose will not be taken away from
her.
