Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 10:40

40 But Martha was cumbred about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

Two things are blameable in Martha. 1. That she made two much ado about the entertainment of our Saviour, that she entertained our Saviour, she did well, but herein she erred, that she made her entertainment of him so troublesome, as it would not give her leave to take that advantage, which she might, or ought to have done from the entertainment of a Prophet. 2. That she is displeased with her Sister, because she would not lend her her hand, but chose rather to sit at Christs Feet, and hear his Word, and desireth Christ to send her away to her assistance.
