Luke does NOT says MORE blessed. If you read 11:28 literally it seems on first reading to say "No, she ain't, rather are..." which is incorrect. What He is saying is yes, she is blessed, but ALSO are blessed those that hear the word of God and keept it. There is no indication of a cmparative in that verse

And he says Oh yes she is most blessed? Where

Luk 11:27 And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!' Luk 11:28 And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!'

Yea rather =μενοῦν=1) nay surely, nay rather

YOIS I presume?

If you intended 11:28 to indicate that "blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it. " to mean "MORE blessed...", then your interpretation is flawed.
