In His Name
38 John(A) said to him, “Teacher,(B) we saw someone[a] driving out demons(C) in your name,(D) and we tried to stop him because he wasn’t following us.”(E)
39 “Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle(F) in my name who can soon afterward speak evil of me. 40 For whoever is not against us is for us.(G) 41 And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink(H) in my name, because you belong to Christ(I) —truly I tell you,(J) he will never lose his reward.(K)

Using the Name of Jesus
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he wasn’t in our group.”
39 “Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs a miracle in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. 40 Anyone who is not against us is for us. 41 If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded.
