Mark 9:33-39 in English

³³ And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning on the way?

³⁴ But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

³⁴ But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

³³ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

³⁴ But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

³³ And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning in the way?

³⁴ But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another in the way, who was the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.

³⁶ And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ John said unto him, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum town. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing while we were traveling on the road?”

³⁴ But they did not reply. They were ashamed to reply because, while they were traveling, they had been arguing with each other about which one of them would be the most important when Jesus became king.

³⁵ He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples to come close to him, and then he said to them, “If anyone wants God to consider him to be the most important person of all, he must consider himself to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone else.”

³⁶ Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,

³⁷ “Those who, because they love me, welcome a child like this one, God considers that they are welcoming me. So it is as though they are also welcoming God, who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ◄ claiming he had authority from you to do that/while telling people that you have told him to do it►. So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us disciples.”

³⁹ Jesus said, “Do not tell him not to do that! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I have told him to do it.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing amongst yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?

³⁴ But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

³⁵ And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.

³⁸ John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

³³ And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way?

³⁴ And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who was greatest.

³⁵ And sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.

³⁶ And taking a little child he set it in their midst, and having taken it in his arms he said to them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.

³⁸ And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon after to speak ill of me;

³³ But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.

³⁴ And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.

³⁵ And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:

³⁶ Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁷ John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.

³⁸ But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

³⁹ For he that is not against you, is for you.

³³ Then He came to Capernaum. And being in the house He asked them, “What were you disputing about with one another on the road?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for on the road they had discussed with one another who was the greatest.

³⁵ And having sat down He called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

³⁶ And taking a child, He stood him in their midst. And taking him in His arms, He said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me, but Him who sent Me.”

³⁸ Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow with us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name that will be able to soon speak evil of Me.

³³ Then He came to Capernaum; and once in the house He asked them, “What were you debating among yourselves on the road?”

³⁴ But they kept silent, because on the road they had debated among themselves who was greater.

³⁵ So He sat down, called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

³⁶ Then He took a child and stood him in their midst, and embracing him said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not only me, but the One who sent me.”

³⁸ So John answered Him saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, one who doesn't follow us; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said: “Do not forbid him, because no one who works a miracle in my name can soon afterward speak evil of me.

³³ They 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?”

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

³⁵ Jesus 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.

³⁶ He 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.”

³⁸ John 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.

³³ After, he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among you by the way?

³⁴ And they helde their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselues, who should bee the chiefest.

³⁵ And he sate downe, and called the twelue, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shalbe last of all, and seruant vnto all.

³⁶ And he tooke a litle childe, and set him in the middes of them, and tooke him in his armes, and sayd vnto them,

³⁷ Whosoeuer shall receiue one of such litle children in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer receiueth mee, receiueth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ Then Iohn answered him, saying, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not.

³⁹ But Iesus sayd, Forbid him not: for there is no man that can doe a miracle by my Name, that can lightly speake euill of me.

³³ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

³⁴ But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

³³ They went to that town Capernaum. After his men had entered the house Jesus asked them, “As we were coming why were you arguing with each other?”

³⁴ They stayed silent. They didn't answer him. As they were going along they were arguing with each other. In this way they were saying to each other, “Who among us will be boss for us all?”

³⁵ After sitting down Jesus called them to him. He said to them, “Maybe you want to be boss, make yourself small, do good to everyone.”

³⁶ After that he called a child, after leading him he stood him in front of them. After hugging him he said to them,

³⁷ “Maybe you will do good to someone like this child to please me. That good thing you did for the child, that same good thing you also did to me. God sent me. Because of that when you do good to me you will make me happy, you will make God happy also.”

³⁸ John told Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man, he was expelling demons from people in your name. That man does not belong to our mob. After that we told him not to do like that.”

³⁹ Jesus replied, “Don't prevent him. Truly those who have done a good big thing in my name will not on another day say something bad about me to others.

³³ And they came to Capernaum; and having come into the house, he asked them, About what were ye disputing on the road?

³⁴ But they were silent; for on the road they had been disputing with one another, who was greatest.

³⁵ And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any one desire to be first, he will be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and placed him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ Whoever receiveth one of these children in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name who followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he did not follow us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not. For no one, who shall do a miracle in my name, can readily speak evil of me.

³³ They came to Capernaum. When Jesus had gone into the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent; for on the way they had been arguing with one another which was the greatest.

³⁵ Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Taking it in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even a little child like this is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming not me, but him who sent me as his messenger.”

³⁸ “Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he did not follow us.”

³⁹ “None of you must prevent the man,” answered Jesus, “for no one will use my name in working a miracle, and yet find it easy to speak evil of me.

³³ They came to Capernaum. When Jesus had gone into the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent; for on the way they had been arguing with one another which was the greatest.

³⁵ Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wishes to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ Then Jesus took a little child, and placed it in the middle of them. Taking it in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even a little child like this is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming not me, but him who sent me as his messenger.”

³⁸ “Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he did not follow us.”

³⁹ “None of you must prevent the man,” answered Jesus, “for no one will use my name in working a miracle, and yet find it easy to speak evil of me.

³³ He came to Capernaum Village-Comfort, Village-Compassion, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child, and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ John Yah is gracious said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”

³⁹ But Yeshua Salvation said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ While they walked along the road Jesus’s followers argued with each other about which one of them was the most important. After they got to Capernaum they went into the house that they were going to camp in, and Jesus asked them what they were arguing about on the road. His followers were ashamed and said nothing.

³⁵ Jesus sat down and said, “If anyone wants to be the leader, that person has to think to himself, ‘I’m not important at all.’ And he has to be a workman for everybody else.”

³⁶ There was a young kid in that house and Jesus picked him up and said, “Look at this little kid. If you follow me and you are friendly to little kids like this one and you help them, well really, you are friendly to me too. And if you are friendly to me, well really, you are friendly to my Father in heaven too. He is the one that sent me here.”

³⁸ John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw a man using your power by saying your name to send bad spirits out of people. He’s not one of our mob, so we told him to stop.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “No. Don’t stop him. If somebody uses my power by saying my name to do good and powerful things for people, he can’t soon turn around and say bad things about me.

³³ And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come to housse he axed the: what was it that ye disputed bytwene you by the waye?

³⁴ And they helde their peace: for by the waye they reasoned amonge the selves who shuld be the chefest.

³⁵ And he sate doune and called the twelve vnto him and sayd to them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst the same shalbe last of all and servaunt vnto all.

³⁶ And he toke a chylde and set him in the middes of them and toke him in his armes and sayde vnto them.

³⁷ Whosoever receave eny soche a chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth not me but him that sent me.

³⁸ Iohn answered him sayinge: Master we sawe one castynge out devyls in thy name which foloweth not vs and we forbade him because he foloweth vs not.

³⁹ But Iesus sayde forbid him not. For ther is no man that shall do a miracle in my name that can lightlyge speake evyll of me.

³³ Then they came to Capernaum. After he entered the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent. For they had been arguing with one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ Sitting down, he called the twelve together and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and placed him in their midst. He took him in his arms and said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, does not receive me but the one who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we stopped him, because he does not follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and can soon afterwards say anything bad about me.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing amongst yourselves on the way?”

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

³⁴ But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and he followeth not us; and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

³⁹ But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ Yochanan said to him, “Rabbi, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Yeshua said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing amongst yourselves on the way?”

³⁴ But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.

³⁵ He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”

³⁶ He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

³⁸ Yochanan said to him, “Rabbi, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

³⁹ But Yeshua said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

³³ And they came to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them, What treated ye in the way?

³⁴ And they were still; for they disputed among themselves in the way, who of them should be the greatest.

³⁵ And he sat, and called the twelve, and said to them, If any man will be the first among you, he shall be the last of all, and the minister or the servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the middle or in the midst of them; and when he had embraced him, he said to them,

³⁷ Whoever receiveth one of such children in my name, he receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, he receiveth not me alone, but him that sent me.

³⁸ John answered to him, and said, Master, we saw one casting out fiends in thy name, which pursueth not us, and we have forbidden him.

³⁹ And Jesus said, Do not ye forbid him; for there is no man that doeth virtue in my name, and may soon speak evil of me.

³³ And they came to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them, What treated ye in the way? (or What did ye discuss on the way?)

³⁴ And they were still; for they disputed among themselves in the way, who of them should be the greatest. (And they were silent; for they had argued among themselves on the way, who of them was the greatest.)

³⁵ And he sat, and called the twelve, and said to them, If any man will be the first among you, he shall be the last of all, and the minister or the servant of all.

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the middle or in the midst of them; and when he had embraced him, he said to them,

³⁷ Whoever receiveth one of such children in my name, he receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, he receiveth not me alone, but him that sent me.

³⁸ John answered to him, and said, Master, we saw one casting out fiends in thy name, which (pur)sueth not us, and we have forbidden him. (John answered to him, and said, Teacher, we saw one throwing out devils and demons in thy name, and he followeth not us, and we have forbidden him.)

³⁹ And Jesus said, Do not ye forbid him; for there is no man that doeth virtue in my name, and may soon speak evil of me. (And Jesus said, Do not forbid him; for there is no one who doeth a work of power, or a miracle, in my name, and can soon after speak evil about me.)

³³ And thei weren stille; for thei disputiden among hem in the weie, who of hem schulde be grettest.

³⁴ And he sat, and clepide the twelue, and seide to hem, If ony man wole be the firste among you, he schal be the laste of alle, and the mynyster of alle.

³⁵ And he took a child, and sette hym in the myddil of hem; and whanne he hadde biclippid hym, he seide to hem,

³⁶ Who euer resseyueth oon of such children in my name, he resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, he resseyueth not me aloone, but hym that sente me.

³⁷ Joon answeride to hym, and seide, Maister, we sayn oon castynge out feendis in thi name, which sueth not vs, and we han forbodun hym.
