Context of Luke 9:50

48and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great. 49And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us. And Jesus said to him, Forbid [him] not, for he that is not against you is for you. 51And it came to pass when the days of his receiving up were fulfilled, that he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers before his face. And having gone they entered into a village of the Samaritans that they might make ready for him.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 43-50Verses 43-50 This prediction of Christ's sufferings was plain enough, but the disciples would not understand it, because it agreed not with their notions.

If ever any society of Christians…Read the comment

This statement was a proverb (a wise saying), not an absolute rule, since Jesus made the opposite statement in 11:23. Wisdom is needed to apply a proverb correctly in each situation.Read the comment
