38. John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us."

40. For he who is not against us is for us.
41. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
