Mark 9:38-39
On Jesus’ Side
9:38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he was not following us.”
9:39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, because no one who does a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say anything bad about me.
Luke 9:49-50
On the Right Side
9:49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him because he is not a disciple along with us.”
9:50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Luke 11:19
11:19 Now if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons
cast them
out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Acts 19:13-16
19:13 But some itinerant
Jewish exorcists tried to invoke the name
of the Lord Jesus over those who were possessed by
evil spirits, saying, “I sternly warn
you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
19:14 (Now seven sons of a man named
Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.)
19:15 But the evil spirit replied to them,
“I know about Jesus
and I am acquainted with
Paul, but who are you?”
19:16 Then the man who was possessed by
the evil spirit jumped on
them and beat them all into submission.
He prevailed
against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
