Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 10:39

39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus feet, and heard his word.

Interpreters think this Village was Bethany, and that this Martha and Mary, were the same which are mentioned Iohn 11.2. Inns probably were not so frequent then, and in those places, as they are now, so as strangers were often received in private houses. Christ looseth no opportunity of Preaching the Gospel, while they were preparing Supper, he was entertaining the Family with the glad tidings of the Gospel, the feast made upon the Mountain of fat things, Isaiah 25.6.) The Lips of the righteous feed many. It was their fashion to have Disciples sit at their Doctors Feet, to hear their Word, there Mary fixeth her self.
