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

Study Note
When an anonymous woman blesses the womb that bore Jesus, he redirects her admiration from biological kinship to covenantal obedience: 'blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.' This is not a diminishment of Mary but an elevation of the community of the word above every form of natural privilege — an implicit democratisation of blessing. Luke has carefully prepared for this by presenting Mary as the exemplary hearer in the Annunciation ('be it unto me according to thy word,' 1:38), so the beatitude validates rather than corrects her response. The principle resonates with James 1:22-25's contrast between hearers and doers and with John 15:14 ('ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you').
