And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you.

11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off as a testimony against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.’

38 As they traveled along, Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.
39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to His message.
And she had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the feet of the Lord, and listened to his word.
40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me!”
But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me.
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things.
But the Lord answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things.
42 But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her.”
But one thing is needful. For Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
