38 ^fJohn said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone ^gcasting out demons in your name,¹ and ^hwe tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 ⁱFor the one who is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, ^jwhoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
