| John answered, &c.--The link of connection here with the foregoing context lies in the words "in My name" (Luk 9:48). "Oh, as to that," said John, young, warm, but not sufficiently apprehending Christ's teaching in these things, "we saw one casting out devils in Thy name, and we forbade him: Were we wrong?" "Ye were wrong." "But we did because he followeth not us,'" "No matter. For (1) There is no man which shall do a miracle in My name that can lightly [soon] speak evil of Me' [Mar 9:39]. And (2) If such a person cannot be supposed to be 'against us,' you are to consider him 'for us.'" Two principles of immense importance. Christ does not say this man should not have followed "with them," but simply teaches how he was to be regarded though he did not--as a reverer of His name and a promoter of His cause. Surely this condemns not only those horrible attempts by force to shut up all within one visible pale of discipleship, which have deluged Christendom with blood in Christ's name, but the same spirit in its milder form of proud ecclesiastic scowl upon all who "after the form which they call a sect (as the word signifies, Act 24:14), do so worship the God of their fathers." Visible unity in Christ's Church is devoutly to be sought, but this is not the way to it. See the noble spirit of Moses (Num 11:24-29). |

24 And Moses [04872] went out [03318], and told [01696] the people [05971] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068], and gathered [0622] the seventy [07657] men [0376] of the elders [02205] of the people [05971], and set [05975] them round about [05439] the tabernacle [0168].
25 And the LORD [03068] came down [03381] in a cloud [06051], and spake [01696] unto him, and took [0680] of the spirit [07307] that was upon him, and gave [05414] it unto the seventy [07657] elders [02205] [0376]: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit [07307] rested [05117] upon them, they prophesied [05012], and did not cease [03254].
26 But there remained [07604] two [08147] of the men [0582] in the camp [04264], the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Eldad [0419], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Medad [04312]: and the spirit [07307] rested [05117] upon them; and they were of them that were written [03789], but went not out [03318] unto the tabernacle [0168]: and they prophesied [05012] in the camp [04264].
27 And there ran [07323] a young man [05288], and told [05046] Moses [04872], and said [0559], Eldad [0419] and Medad [04312] do prophesy [05012] in the camp [04264].
28 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], the servant [08334] of Moses [04872], one of his young men [0979], answered [06030] and said [0559], My lord [0113] Moses [04872], forbid [03607] them.
29 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto him, Enviest [07065] thou for my sake? would God that all the [05414] LORD'S [03068] people [05971] were prophets [05030], and that the LORD [03068] would put [05414] his spirit [07307] upon them!
14 But [1161] this [5124] I confess [3670] unto thee [4671], that [3754] after [2596] the way [3598] which [3739] they call [3004] heresy [139], so [3779] worship I [3000] the God [2316] of my fathers [3971], believing [4100] all things [3956] which [3588] are written [1125] in [2596] the law [3551] and [2532] in [1722] the prophets [4396]:
39 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Forbid [2967] him [846] not [3361]: for [1063] there is [2076] no man [3762] which [3739] shall do [4160] a miracle [1411] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], that [2532] can [1410] lightly [5035] speak evil [2551] of me [3165].
48 And [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] this [5124] child [3813] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686] receiveth [1209] me [1691]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] me [1691] receiveth him [1209] that sent [649] me [3165]: for [1063] he that is [5225] least [3398] among [1722] you [5213] all [3956], the same [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173].
38 And [1161] John [2491] answered [611] him [846], saying [3004], Master [1320], we saw [1492] one [5100] casting out [1544] devils [1140] in thy [4675] name [3686], and [3739] he followeth [190] not [3756] us [2254]: and [2532] we forbad [2967] him [846], because [3754] he followeth [190] not [3756] us [2254].
