Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 11:27

"And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck." — Luke 11:27 (ASV)

This saying provides another instance of Luke’s identification of Jesus’ sayings as the “word of God.” It must not be taken as reflecting unfavorably on Mary.
