Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:38–42

This beautiful print, "The Better Part," by artist Simon Dewey captures the intimate and sacred moment of Christ's visit to the home of Mary and Martha. The artwork is based on the biblical account found in Luke 10, where Mary chose to sit at the Savior's feet and hear his word, selecting "that good part" over her sister's temporal anxieties.

The image features Christ seated and teaching Mary, who is reverently attentive on the floor, while Martha stands nearby, still caught up in her preparations. This touching piece is a powerful visual reminder to prioritize the spiritual nourishment found in the Savior's presence over the daily distractions of life.
