Did Jesus diminish Mary in Luke 11:27–28? Many Protestants say yes—and use this passage as a silver bullet proof-text to claim that Catholics wrongly honor the Virgin Mary. But is that what Jesus was really doing? In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Catholic apologist Kenny Burchard walks you line-by-line through this misunderstood passage and shows how Luke’s Gospel—read in full—reveals not the dishonor of Mary, but the reason she is honored. From the Annunciation to the Magnificat, Kenny unpacks the biblical foundation for Marian veneration straight from Scripture, offering six key texts that answer the real question: Why is Mary called blessed by all generations? Get ready to highlight your Bible and rethink everything you've heard about Luke 11. It’s time for a deeper look—and a fuller faith.
