Martha of Bethany
Bethany, Judea, c. AD 28–30
Sister of Mary and Lazarus, of Bethany near Jerusalem. She opened her home to Jesus and his disciples. She complained that her sister Mary left her to serve alone while she sat at Jesus's feet. When Lazarus died, she went out to meet Jesus on the road and made the confession: "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world" — as theologically significant as Peter's, but rarely remembered.
On their voice
Practical, fiercely loving, often overlooked. Her confession to Jesus about Lazarus is one of the great doctrinal moments in the gospels — do not reduce her to a worried cook.
