[Pelayo]

Luke 11: 27 As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!" 28 But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

Ah now I was waiting for this one to come up!
Who was the first person to hear the Word of God and really keep it in a literal sense? Jesus is not admonishing his mother, but stating why she is truly Blessed.

Jesus is not admonishing his mother, but stating why she is truly Blessed.

Hey, how do you know? You yourself stated that you were humble enough to admit that you were not qualified to interpret Scripture. Yet you constantly do just that on this thread.

Ah now I was waiting for this one to come up! Who was the first person to hear the Word of God and really keep it in a literal sense?

Was it Zechari'ah? It certainly wasn't Mary.

Jesus is not admonishing his mother, but stating why she is truly Blessed.

Is your imagination running wild? Where do you read Jesus was admonishing his mother?

What Jesus said:

"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

What Pelayo says:

Jesus is not admonishing his mother, but stating why she is truly Blessed.

What Jesus said;

All who hear the word of God and keep it are blessed.
