John Recalls an Instance When The Disciples Did Not Welcome Someone
38 John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting-out demons in Your name. And we were forbidding him because he was not following us”. 39 But Jesus said, “Do not be forbidding him. For there is no one who will do a miracle on the basis of My name, and soon be able to speak-evil-of Me. 40 For he who is not against[a] us is for us. 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in the name that you are Christ’s— truly I say to you that he will by no means lose his reward.
