Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 11:27-28

A certain woman - One of the crowd.Blessed is the womb ... - She thought that the “mother” of such a person must be especially happy in having such a son.Yea, rather blessed ... - Jesus admits that she was happy - that it was an honor to be his mother, but he says that the chief happiness, the highest honor, was to obey the word of God. Compared with this, all earthly distinctions and honors are as nothing. Man’s greatest dignity is in keeping the holy commandments of God, and in being prepared... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:14-23

Luke 11:14-23 . And he was casting out a devil See on Matthew 9:32-34; and Matthew 12:22-23. Some said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub These he answers, Luke 11:17. Others, to try whether it were so or not, sought a sign from heaven These he reproves, in the 29th and following verses. Beelzebub signifies the lord of flies, a title which the heathen gave to Jupiter, whom they accounted the chief of their gods, and yet supposed him to be employed in driving away flies from... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:27-28

Luke 11:27-28. As he spake these things, a certain woman, &c.

But he said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it As if... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:29-32

Luke 11:29-32. When the people were gathered thick together. It seems, on this occasion, the multitude gathered round him in a great crowd, and pressed upon him, in expectation that he was going to show them the sign from heaven which some of them had required from him.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 11:14-36

52. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:22-45; Mark 3:22-30; Luke 11:14-36)On one occasion when Jesus cast out demons, the Pharisees accused him of doing it by the power of Satan, the prince of demons (Matthew 12:22-24; Luke 11:14-16). Jesus replied that if the prince of demons used his own power to cast out demons, he would be creating civil war in his own kingdom. He would be destroying himself. The only way a strong man can be defeated is if a stronger man overpowers him. In casting out... read more
