Original text and translations

Latin text In illo tempore: loquente Jesu ad turbas, extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit: Beatus venter, qui te portavit, et ubera, quae suxisti. At ille dixit: Quinimo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud. c.f. Luke 11:27-28

English translation At that time: while Jesus was speaking to the crowds, a certain woman from the crowd, raising her voice said: Blessed is the womb that bore thee and the breasts that thou hast sucked. But he said: Nay, rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.
