Marcos 9:40

40 Todo el que no está en contra de nosotros está a nuestro favor.

Marcos 9:40 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:40

For he that is not against us, is on our part.
] Many copies read, "he that is not against you, is for you"; as this man; he was not against either Christ, or his disciples; he was doing the same work, promoting the same interest, and destroying the kingdom of Satan: and therefore, though he did not follow them, and had not his commission immediately from Christ; yet, inasmuch as he was opposing the same common enemy, and did nothing against them, he ought to be reckoned as one for them, and on their side. It is a proverbial expression, signifying that all that are not against a man, and take not the part of his enemy, are to be accounted his friends.

41 Si alguien les da a ustedes incluso un vaso de agua porque pertenecen al Mesías, les digo la verdad, esa persona ciertamente será recompensada.

42 »Si tú haces que uno de estos pequeños que confían en mí caiga en pecado, sería mejor que te arrojaran al mar con una gran piedra de molino atada al cuello.
