Luke 11:27-29
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
27 Now it occurred that as He was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed (happy and [a]to be envied) is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked!
28 But He said, Blessed (happy and [b]to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey and practice it!
29 Now as the crowds were [increasingly] thronging Him, He began to say, This present generation is a wicked one; it seeks and demands a sign (miracle), but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah [the prophet].(A)
