Mark 9:38-41

English Standard Version

Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us

^38 (A)John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone ^(B)casting out demons in your name,^[a] and ^(C)we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” ³⁹ But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. ^40 (D)For the one who is not against us is for us. ⁴¹ For truly, I say to you, ^(E)whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
