Mary anoints and wipes the feet of Jesus in John 12. The connection between Mary and Jesus’s feet is significant. As Mary sits at Jesus’s feet, Martha finds herself “distracted by her many tasks” (Luke 10:40). Consumed by worry and anxiety, Martha demands that Jesus tell Mary to help her.
Martha went quickly to call Mary, and Mary hurried to meet Jesus, and fell down at His feet, saying just what Martha had said before her, “Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died” (verse 32). When Jesus saw Mary weeping, He was deeply moved and He also wept (verse 35).
Jesus at the home of Martha and Mary, in art usually called Christ in the House of Martha and Mary, and other variant names, is a Biblical episode in the life of Jesus in the New Testament which appears only in Luke's Gospel (Luke 10:38–42), immediately after the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). [1] Luke's account reads:
Martha and Mary were two sisters who lived in Bethany. When Jesus visited that village, He stayed at Martha's house. She received Jesus and His disciples with love and served them all with great dedication, as the special occasion required. However, her sister Mary decided to sit at Jesus' feet, dedicating her time and attention to Him.
