Martha

헬라어 Μάρθα

인물 여성

[Easton 한국어 번역] 쓴맛. 나사로와 마리아의 누이로, 아마도 그 집안의 맏이였을 것이다. 이들은 모두 베다니에 살았다(눅 10:38, 40, 41; 요 11:1-39). 그 거처가 “그의 집”이라고 불린 것으로 보아, 어떤 이들은 마르다가 과부였으며 오라비와 여동생이 그와 함께 살았다고 추정하였다. 마르다는 염려가 많고 분주한 성품이었던 것으로 보이며, 주님께서 쓰실 가장 좋은 것들을 마련하는 데 도움이 되고자 애썼다. 이는 주님의 발아래 앉아 그에게 배우는 기회를 이용하는 데 더 마음을 쏟았던 마리아의 조용한 열성과 대조된다. 후에 그 집에서 그리스도와 제자들을 위해 베푼 저녁 식사 때에도 “마르다는 일을 보았다.” 그에 관해서는 더 알려진 것이 없다. “마리아와 마르다는 인간 성품의 두 부류를 대표한다. 한 사람은 일에 몰두하여 마음을 빼앗기고 다른 데 정신이 가 있었으며, 다른 사람은 한곳에 집중하여 한마음을 품고 있었다. 마르다에게는 자기 자신의 세계가 전부였고, 마리아에게는 그리스도가 가장 먼저 떠오르는 생각이었다. 마르다에게 삶은 ‘개별적인 일들이 잇따르는 것’이었고, 마리아에게 삶은 ‘오히려 한 영이 흘러가는 것’이었다. 마르다는 베드로형이었고, 마리아는 요한형이었다. 한 사람은 좋은 뜻을 가졌으나 분주하게 여러 일에 나서는 사람이었고, 다른 사람은 경건한 제자요 간절히 사모하며 귀 기울이는 사람이었다.” 바울은 “분요함이 없이” 주를 섬기는 것에 대해 말할 때 마르다와 같은 모습을 마음에 두고 있었다(고전 7:35).

[Easton] Bitterness, the sister of Lazarus and Mary, and probably the eldest of the family, who all resided at Bethany (Luke 10:38, 40, 41; John 11:1-39). From the residence being called “her house,” some have supposed that she was a widow, and that her brother and sister lodged with her. She seems to have been of an anxious, bustling spirit, anxious to be helpful in providing the best things for the Master’s use, in contrast to the quiet earnestness of Mary, who was more concerned to avail herself of the opportunity of sitting at his feet and learning of him. Afterwards at a supper given to Christ and his disciples in her house “Martha served.” Nothing further is known of her. “Mary and Martha are representatives of two orders of human character. One was absorbed, preoccupied, abstracted; the other was concentrated and single-hearted. Her own world was the all of Martha; Christ was the first thought with Mary. To Martha life was ‘a succession of particular businesses;’ to Mary life ’was rather the flow of one spirit.’ Martha was Petrine, Mary was Johannine. The one was a well-meaning, bustling busybody; the other was a reverent disciple, a wistful listener.” Paul had such a picture as that of Martha in his mind when he spoke of serving the Lord “without distraction” (1 Cor. 7:35). [Smith] (a lady), the sister of Lazarus and Mary. [Lazarus] The facts recorded in Luke 10 and John 11 indicate a character devout after the customary Jewish type of devotion, sharing in Messianic hopes and accepting Jesus as the Christ. When she first comes before us, (Luke 10:38) her spirit is “cumbered with much serving,” is “careful and troubled about many things.” Her love, though imperfect in its form, is yet recognized as true, and she has the distinction of being one whom Jesus loved. (John 11:5) Her position is obviously that of the elder sister the head and manager of the household. In the supper at Bethany (John 12:2) the old character shows itself still, but it has been freed from evil. She is no longer “cumbered,” no longer impatient. Activity has been calmed by trust.
