Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Luke 11:27

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

27, 28. as he spake these things, a . . . woman of the company —of the multitude, the crowd. A charming little incident and profoundly instructive. With true womanly feeling, she envies the mother of such a wonderful Teacher. Well, and higher and better than she had said as much before her ( Luke 1:28 ; Luke 1:42 ); and our Lord is far from condemning it. He only holds up—as " blessed rather "—the hearers and keepers of God's word; in other words, the humblest real saint of God. (See on Luke 1:42- : .) How utterly alien is this sentiment from the teaching of the Church of Rome, which would excommunicate any one of its members who dared to talk in the spirit of this glorious saying!
