Mark 9:38-41

38 "Master," said John, "we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he did not follow us."

39 "Do not try to stop him," Jesus answered, "for there is no one who performs a miracle in my name who can soon speak evil of me. 40 He who is not against us is for us. 41 For whoever gives you even a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, in solemn truth I tell you, that he shall certainly not lose his reward.

Luke 9:49-50
