“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Luke 9:49 (BSB)
Context Reading
47But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him. 48And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.” 49“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.” 50“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.” 51As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
