Martha is a New Testament figure, sister of Mary of Bethany and Lazarus, who lived in Bethany near Jerusalem and is closely associated with Jesus’ ministry.

She is often portrayed as practical, active, and hospitable:
* In the Gospel of Luke, Martha welcomes Jesus into her home and busies herself with preparations, while her sister Mary listens to Jesus’ teaching. When Martha complains, Jesus gently reminds her to focus on what truly matters, highlighting a contrast between active service and spiritual attentiveness.
* In the Gospel of John, Martha plays a key role in the story of Lazarus’ death and resurrection. She goes out to meet Jesus and expresses strong faith, affirming that he is “the resurrection and the life” and the Son of God.
* At the raising of Lazarus, Martha shows both faith and human concern—trusting Jesus, yet hesitating when asked to open the tomb.

Martha also appears serving at a meal in Jesus’ honor, reinforcing her role as one devoted to care and hospitality.

Overall, Martha is remembered as a figure of faith in action—someone deeply devoted to Jesus, balancing practical service with a growing understanding of spiritual truth.
