Mark 9:38-41 - Whoever Is Not Against Us Is For Us

Mark 9:38-41

38 [Then] John [the apostle] said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out evil spirits by using your name, so we told him to stop doing it, because he was not following [You] with us."

39 But Jesus said, "Do not try to stop him, for there is not anyone who performs a supernatural deed using my name who will be able to quickly say something bad about me. 40 For the person who is not against us is for us. 41 Truly I tell you, whoever will give you [even] a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his [temporal or eternal] reward.

Luke 9:49-50

50 But Jesus said to him, "Do not try to stop him, for the person who is not against you is for you."
