Luke 10:38

Now as they went on their way (hn de tw poreuesqai autouv). Luke's favourite temporal clause again as in verse Luke 10:35.

Received him into her house (upedecato auton eiv thn oikian). Aorist middle indicative of upodexomai, an old verb to welcome as a guest (in the N.T. only here and Luke 19:6; Acts 17:7; James 2:25). Martha is clearly the mistress of the home and is probably the elder sister. There is no evidence that she was the wife of Simon the leper (John 12:1 f.). It is curious that in an old cemetery at Bethany the names of Martha, Eleazar, and Simon have been found.
