Definitions for Luke 10:41
Clarke's Luke 10:41 Bible Commentary
Thou art careful and troubled - Thou art distracted, μεριμνας, thy mind is divided, (see on Matthew 13:22 (note)), in consequence of which, τυρβαζῃ, thou art disturbed, thy spirit is thrown into a tumult.
About many things - Getting a variety of things ready for this entertainment, much more than are necessary on such an occasion.
Barnes's Luke 10:41 Bible Commentary
Thou art careful - Thou art anxious.
Troubled - Disturbed, distracted, very solicitous.
Many things - The many objects which excite your attention in the family. This was probably designed as a slight reproof, or a tender hint that she was improperly anxious about those things, and that she should, with Mary, rather choose to hear the discourses of heavenly wisdom.
Wesley's Luke 10:41 Bible Commentary
10:41 Martha, Martha - There is a peculiar spirit and tenderness in the repetition of the word: thou art careful, inwardly, and hurried, outwardly.
