Mark 9:33-39

³³They arrived at Capernaum, and once they were inside the house where they were staying, Jesus asked them, “What were you talking about on the way?”

³⁴But they didn't say anything because they had been arguing over who was the most important.

³⁵Jesus sat down and called the twelve disciples together. “If anyone wants to be first, he has to be the very last, the servant of everyone else,” he told them.

³⁶He took a small child and had the child stand right in the middle of them. Then he picked up and hugged the child, and told them,

³⁷“Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me doesn't welcome me but the one who sent me.”

³⁸John said to Jesus, “Rabbi, we saw someone driving out demons in your name. We tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”

³⁹“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who is doing miracles in my name can curse me at the same time.
