→Chapter 11: verses 27-28, interesting example of best of the public as a woman shouts from the crowd
|27

|And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
|And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
|
|From out of the blue, as Jesus preached, a particular woman in his group raised her voice and said, "Bless is the womb that carried you, and the breasts at which You nursed!"
|
|reference here to the unborn child, Greek word is "βαστάζω" (meaning "carry" or "bear"); the "particular woman" could well have been Mark's mom, and exemplifies the [[best of the public]] here. A bit idiomatic with "from out of the blue" and may want to revisit

|But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
|But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
|
|But Jesus replied, "Amen, but blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it!"
|discrepancy with modern versions here, which treat Jesus's introductory phrase as more of a contradiction than an affirmance; but Greek "μέν" is an unmistakable affirmance of the woman's outburst
