Commentary

Martha, Martha--emphatically redoubling upon the name. careful and cumbered--the one word expressing the inward worrying anxiety that her preparations should be worthy of her Lord; the other, the outward bustle of those preparations. many things--"much service" (Luk 10:40); too elaborate preparation, which so engrossed her attention that she missed her Lord's teaching.
