Questions where the Bible appears to say two different things, with the passages on each side set together.

  • Was Mary blessed?

    Luke 1:28 has Gabriel greet Mary as "blessed... among women," and Luke 1:42 has Elisabeth repeat the blessing. Luke 11:27-28 has a woman pronounce blessed the womb that bore Jesus, and Jesus replies, "Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it," redirecting the blessing away from his mother specifically.
