People's New Testament

11:27,28 Blessed is the womb that bare thee. This woman, in her untaught enthusiasm, comes nearer the adoration of the mother of Jesus than anything elsewhere in the New Testament. The Lord rebukes it by saying, Rather are they blessed who hear and keep the word of God (Lu 11:28). Mariolatry is idolatry. There is not the slightest foundation for it in the New Testament.

Wesley's Notes

11:28 Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it - For if even she that bare him had not done this, she would have forfeited all her blessedness.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:27,28 While the scribes and Pharisees despised and blasphemed the discourses of our Lord Jesus, this good woman admired them, and the wisdom and power with which he spake. Christ led the woman to a higher consideration. Though it is a great privilege to hear the word of God, yet those only are truly blessed, that is, blessed of the Lord, that hear it, keep it in memory, and keep to it as their way and rule.


Luke 8:21 But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it." (NASB ©1995)
