Mark 9:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ Jesus took a little child and had the child stand among them. Then he took the child in his arms. He said to them, ³⁷ “Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me. And anyone who welcomes me also welcomes the one who sent me.”

Anyone Who Is Not Against Us Is for Us

³⁸ “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”
