Mark 9:35-40

35Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, “1If anyone wants to be first, 2he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36Taking a child, He set him 3before them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them, 37“4Whoever receives 5one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”

386John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and 7we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” 39But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. 408For he who is not against us is 9for us.
