[49] John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting
out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow
with us." [50} Jesus said to him, "Don't forbid him, for
he who is not against us is for us." (Luke 9:49-50)
It is interesting to note the change in meaning the reversal of that phrase makes. "He who is not against us is for us" is much different from the more usual mangling "He who is not for us is against us". How many problems could be solved if people took the first attitude rather than the second?
