Marco 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.

Marco 9:40 In-Context

38 Giovanni gli disse: Maestro, noi abbiam veduto uno che cacciava i demoni nel nome tuo, il quale non ci seguita; e glielo abbiam vietato perché non ci seguitava.
39 E Gesù disse: Non glielo vietate, poiché non v’è alcuno che faccia qualche opera potente nel mio nome, e che subito dopo possa dir male di me.
40 Poiché chi non è contro a noi, è per noi.
41 Perché chiunque vi avrà dato a bere un bicchiere d’acqua in nome mio perché siete di Cristo, in verità vi dico che non perderà punto il suo premio.
42 E chiunque avrĂ  scandalizzato uno di questi piccoli che credono, meglio sarebbe per lui che gli fosse messa al collo una macina da mulino, e fosse gettato in mare.
