Mark 9:39
Forbid him not. He neither praises nor blames him for following
an independent course, and not working with his disciples. He simply
declares that he must not be forbidden, and that those who work the
same kind of work that we do should be regarded not as enemies, but
allies. Thousands, in every period of church history, have spent their
lives in copying John's mistake. They have labored to stop every man
who will not work for Christ in their way from working for Christ at
all (Ryle).
