They both loved Jesus, Martha showed this by inviting Jesus and his disciples round and working hard to prepare a meal for them all, while Mary sat down, spent time with Jesus and listened to him. However Martha was so distracted by her preparations that she became angry with Mary for not helping. As Jesus said, Mary had chosen what is better \u2013 only one thing is needed!
