The story of Martha and Mary can be a contentious one, Mary sat at Jesus' feet learning and being taught wisdom, while Martha busied herself with chores, presumably as being a good hostess, she was concerned sister Mary was goofing off. But Jesus corrected her attitude. Here is the scripture :-

Now as they went on their way, [Jesus] entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me.’ But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.’” – Luke 10:38-42
