Bible Comments

Luke 11:27 f. Jesus and His Mother. A variant of Luke 8:19-21 *. The introduction of feminine sentiment is characteristic of Lk. Human relationship is not the highest claim; cf. Matthew 15:5 f.*

Luke 11:27-28

27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

28 But he said,Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
