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.  

Jesus Warns of Offenses

42 a“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me1 to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.  
43 aIf your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life1 maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to2 hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—

Mark 9:41

Because ye are Christ's (oti Xristou este). Predicate genitive, belong to Christ. See Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 1:12; II Corinthians 10:7. That is the bond of universal brotherhood of the redeemed. It breaks over the lines of nation, race, class, sex, everything. No service is too small, even a cup of cold water, if done for Christ's sake. See on Matthew 18:6 f. for discussion on stumbling-blocks for these little ones that believe on Jesus (Mark 9:42), a loving term of all believers, not just children.
