Mark 9:38-41

38 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone expelling demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us."

39 But Jesus said, "Do not prevent him, because there is no one who does a miracle in my name and will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For whoever is not against us is for us. 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in [my] name because you are Christ's, truly I say to you that he will never lose his reward.
