Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward—(See on Matthew 10:42).
Continuation of Teaching Suggested by the Disciple's Strife (Mark 9:42-50).
What follows appears to have no connection with the incidental reproof of John immediately preceding. As that had interrupted some important teaching, our Lord hastens back from it, as if no such interruption had occurred.
