Luke 9:47-49
1599 Geneva Bible
47 When Jesus saw the thoughts of their hearts, he took a little child, and set him by him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever receiveth this little child in my Name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shall be great.
49 ¶ (A)[a]And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy Name, and we forbad him, because he followeth thee not with us.

49 “Master,”(D) said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”
