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.
