Luke 7:28 and Matthew 11:11 refer to those "born of women" to refer to all of mankind other than [[Jesus]].  But Jesus was born of a woman so that translation is not correct.  Better alternative to convey the obvious meaning: "conceived by women."  The Greek γεννητοῖς appears only in these two places in the [[New Testament]], and "conceived" fits the intent better than "born".

[[Matthew 10-19 (Translated)#11:11|Matthew 11:11]] and Luke 7:28 refer to those "born of women" to mean all of mankind other than [[Jesus]].  But Jesus was born of a woman, so that translation is obviously incorrect.  The underlying Greek term γεννητοῖς has the primary meaning of "begotten", so a better translation would be "begotten of women."  In modern English, even more precise to convey the original meaning would be: "conceived by women."  The Greek term γεννητοῖς appears only in these two places in the [[New Testament]], and "conceived" fits the intent better than "born".
