Luke10:41

Thou art careful. Thou art anxious.

Troubled. Disturbed, distracted, very solicitous.

Many things. The many objects which excite your attention in the family. This was probably designed as a slight reproof, or a tender hint that she was improperly anxious about those things, and that she should, with Mary, rather choose to hear the discourses of heavenly wisdom.

(r) "thou art" Mk 4:19, Lk 21:34, 1Cor 7:32,35
