NET Notes

¹sn The term distracted means “to be pulled away” by something (L&N 25.238). It is a narrative comment that makes clear who is right in the account.

²tn Grk “with much serving.”

³tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate that the following was a result of Martha’s distraction.

⁴tn The negative οὐ (ou) used with the verb expects a positive reply. Martha expected Jesus to respond and rebuke Mary.

⁵tn Grk “has left me to serve alone.”

⁶tn The conjunction οὖν (oun, “then, therefore”) has not been translated here.
