Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us

38 ^aJohn said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone ^bcasting out demons in your name, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add who does not follow us} and ^dwe tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 ^eFor the one who is not against us is for us.
