Mark 9:33-40

33Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?”

34But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.

35And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

36Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,

37“Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”

38Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

39But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me.

40For he who is not against us is on our side.
