Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. (Lk 10:38-42)

The synoptic gospels are strangely silent about Jesus’ greatest miracle, the Raising of Lazarus. In fact, today’s gospel passage is the only mention of the sisters Martha and Mary outside of the Fourth Gospel. But their brother Lazarus is not mentioned at all and neither is their village, Bethany. It’s one of those intriguing questions that I would like to ask the gospel writers.
