The True Follower of Jesus(A)
38 John told Jesus,[a] “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him, because he wasn’t a follower like us.”
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can slander me soon afterwards. 40 Whoever is not against us is for us. 41 I tell all of you[b] with certainty, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to the Messiah[c] will never lose his reward.”
