Saying 79: Listening to the Message
A woman in the crowd said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that nourished you."
He said to [her], "Blessed are those who have listened to the message of the Father and kept it, because there will be days when you'll say, 'Blessed is the womb that didn't conceive and the breasts that haven't given milk.'"
