Marcos 9:41 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:41

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink
Not only one that does a miracle in the name of Christ, but he that shows the least respect, or does the least kindness to any one of his; (See Gill on Matthew 10:42); is to be reckoned a friend, and is so accounted by Christ; and will be sooner or later taken notice of by him, especially, if what he does, be it ever so little, is done on his account:

in my name, because ye belong to Christ;
or as the Syriac version renders it, "on account that ye are Christ's"; are his disciples, are called by his name, are partakers of his grace, bear his image and likeness, are loved by him, interested in him, given to him, redeemed by him called by his grace, and shall be with him:

verily l say unto you, he shall not lose his reward;
(See Gill on Matthew 10:42).

Marcos 9:41 In-Context

39 —No se lo impidan —replicó Jesús—. Nadie que haga un milagro en mi nombre puede a la vez hablar mal de mí.

40 El que no está contra nosotros está a favor de nosotros.

41 Les aseguro que cualquiera que les dé un vaso de agua en mi nombre por ser ustedes de Cristo no perderá su recompensa.

42 »Pero si alguien hace pecar a uno de estos pequeños que creen en mí, más le valdría que le ataran al cuello una piedra de molino y lo arrojaran al mar.

43 Si tu mano te hace pecar, córtatela. Más te vale entrar en la vida manco, que ir con las dos manos al infierno, donde el fuego nunca se apaga.
