Luke 11:27
Compare all
25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and athe last state of that man is worse than the first.”  

Keeping the Word

27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, a“Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”  
28 But He said, a“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”  

Seeking a Sign

29 aAnd while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a bsign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah1 the prophet.  
30 For as aJonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

Luke 11:27

A certain woman - lifted up her voice, and said - It was very natural for a woman, who was probably a mother, to exclaim thus. She thought that the happiness of the woman who was mother to such a son was great indeed; but our blessed Lord shows her that even the holy virgin could not be benefited by her merely being the mother of his human nature, and that they only were happy who carried Christ in their hearts. True happiness is found in hearing the glad tidings of salvation by Christ Jesus, and keeping them in a holy heart, and practising them in an unblamable life.
