Luke 11:28

Yea rather. Jesus does not contradict the woman’s eulogy of Mary; like any good mother, she is deserving of honor, and shares in the honor of a worthy son. Instead, Jesus points out the inadequacy of the speaker’s concept so far as the kingdom of heaven is concerned. Jesus neither approves nor disapproves of what she has said. Had Jesus intended that His disciples or Christians in general should accord particular honor to Mary, this stranger’s ascription of honor to her would have been an ideal opportunity for Him to set forth such a teaching, or at least to express cordial approval of what had been said, as He did when Peter acknowledged Him to be the Son of God (see on Matt. 16:17). According to the Scriptures the Christian’s recognition of the deity of Jesus is of major importance, while the idea of according special honor to Mary is not even hinted at (see on Matt. 1:18, 25; Matt. 12:48, 50; Luke 1:28, 47). In Matt. 12:46-50 Jesus seems to deny that any particular importance attaches to His mother, at least so far as Christian believers are concerned.
