Luke 11:28
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
In context
26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”
28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
