Mary and Martha | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Luke 10:38–42, built around the words: “One thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part” (Luke 10:42).

Walk a numbered map from the village road to the good part, then look closer at the open door, the mat at His feet, the tray, the many things and the lamp. Context, Greek words and modern prophets help, while the focus stays on the Savior, who loves both sisters and invites each of us to what lasts.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the village, the door, the mat, His word, the tray, the many things, the question, the lamp and the good part
• Where are you? Juggling too much, sitting to listen, left alone with it, or setting it down, with check-ins
• Sit at His feet: finish each line, then add your own
• Their world, their words: Bethany, a good custom, where the good part was, and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets teach about choosing what matters most
• Seek Him today: a question to ask in prayer, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Luke 10, youth and Relief Society lessons on priorities, and family home evening any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
