Mark 9:35-40

35He sat down and called the twelve apostles. He told them, “Whoever wants to be the most important person must take the last place and be a servant to everyone else.”

36Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He put his arms around the child and said to them,

37“Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me. Whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”

38John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone forcing demons out of a person by using the power and authority of your name. We tried to stop him because he was not one of us.”

39Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! No one who works a miracle in my name can turn around and speak evil of me.

40Whoever isn’t against us is for us.
