Mark 9:38-41 Part 1 of 2

    "Teacher," said John, "we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."

    "Do not stop him," Jesus said. "For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us. Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward." 

 

"Teacher," said John, "we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."

Numbers 11:26-29

    However, two men, whose names were Eldad and Medad, had remained in the camp. They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp. A young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."

    Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' aide since youth, spoke up and said, "Moses, my lord, stop them!"

    But Moses replied, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!"  (see all Numbers 11)
