Mark 9:38 in Context — Mark 9

36 Et il prit un petit enfant, le plaça au milieu d’eux, et l’ayant pris dans ses bras, il leur dit:

37 Quiconque reçoit en mon nom un de ces petits enfants me reçoit moi-même; et quiconque me reçoit, reçoit non pas moi, mais celui qui m’a envoyé.

38 Jean lui dit: Maître, nous avons vu un homme qui chasse des démons en ton nom; et nous l’en avons empêché, parce qu’il ne nous suit pas.

39 Ne l’en empêchez pas, répondit Jésus, car il n’est personne qui, faisant un miracle en mon nom, puisse aussitôt après parler mal de moi.

40 Qui n’est pas contre nous est pour nous.
