Mark 9:39 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 9:39

37 “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and ^awhoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”

Jesus Forbids Sectarianism

38 ^aNow John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, ^afor no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me.

40 For ^ahe who is not against us is on² our side.

41 ^aFor whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.
