Marcos 9:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:39

But Jesus said, forbid him not
Neither him, nor any other they should hereafter meet with, who might be casting out devils in his name, giving this as a reason for it;

for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name;
or "miracles", as the Syriac version, as to cast out devils, or heal any sickness and disease,

that can lightly speak evil of me:
such a man can never reproach and blaspheme that name, which he makes use of in doing, and by which he does wonderful works; no man can call Jesus accursed, who casts out devils in his name; see ( 1 Corinthians 12:3 ) , if he has spoken evil of him before, he cannot do it "again", as the Persic version renders it, with any face; or he cannot do it "quickly, immediately", as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions interpret it: there must be some time before such an one apostatizes, if he ever does; he cannot very easily and readily go into a way of blaspheming that name, by which he does his mighty works: his conscience will not admit of it; and besides, it would be contrary to his interest; it must sink his credit, and he lose the esteem and applause of men, he had gained by his miracles; for to dishonour that name, would be to reproach himself.

Marcos 9:39 In-Context

37 Qualquer que em meu nome receber uma destas crianças, a mim me recebe; e qualquer que me recebe a mim, recebe não a mim mas �quele que me enviou.

38 Disse-lhe João: Mestre, vimos um homem que em teu nome expulsava demônios, e nós lho proibimos, porque não nos seguia.

39 Jesus, porém, respondeu: Não lho proibais; porque ninguém há que faça milagre em meu nome e possa logo depois falar mal de mim;

40 pois quem não é contra nós, é por nós.

41 Porquanto qualquer que vos der a beber um copo de água em meu nome, porque sois de Cristo, em verdade vos digo que de modo algum perderá a sua recompensa.
