Maryjny aspekt jezusowego błogosławieństwa o słuchających i zachowujących Słowo Boże (Łk 11,27-28)

Abstract

The author of the study about the Luke pericope 11, 27-28 has applied a traditional schema of the biblic work. He begins with an introduction of the literary problems of the text. The following points have been discussed regarding that matter: the vocabulary and the style of the text, its structure, the blessing as a form of expression, comparison with the text of Lk 8, 19-21 and the remaining authors of the synoptic Gospels (Mk 3, 31-35; Mt 12, 46-50), the context and the literary genre of the pericope. On the basis of the exegetic analysis – after the interlocutors had been introduced (Lk 11, 27ab) – the sense of respective blessings have been one after the other determined (Lk 11, 27cd. 28) and the connection between them have been shown. The theological reflection have been described as follows: God’s word as a source of blessing, attitude towards God’s word as a sign of Jesus’ follower and necessary condition of blessing, Virgin Mary as an instance of the blessing which had been realized. The studium of the pericope Lk 11, 27-28 set in order in such a way – showed that the main theme of the pericope concentrates round the God’s word – the subject which Luke loved especially. To this end he has shown the blessings hand ad down by tradition. He has linked them into one pericope – calling the special attention to Jesus’s Blessing concerning those who are listening to the God’s word and keeping it. Emphasizing such an attitude of Jesus’ follower necessary for realization of the blessing, he has given to it a more didactic-parenetic nature. The blessing which has been expressed by a woman to Virgin Mary at the same time is deepen and She has been shown as an instance for all those who following Her, want to be percipients of God’s Blessing.
