Whoever Is Not against Us Is for Us (MRK 9:38-41)

[9:38] John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man who was driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group.”

[9:39] “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus told them, “because no one who performs a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say evil things about me.

[9:40] For whoever is not against us is for us.

[9:41] I assure you that anyone who gives you a drink of water because you belong to me will certainly receive a reward.
