Commentary on Luke 11:27

Theological / Devotional

A certain woman. She was “of the company,” that is, apparently of the group, who listened to the preceding discussion. Furthermore, the words “these things” connect the incident of vs. 27, 28 with the discussion of the preceding verses. At this point in the narrative Matthew (ch. 12:46) tells of the coming of Jesus’ mother and brothers, an incident Luke records in ch. 8:19-21. It may be that their arrival prompted this woman to make the statement here recorded.
