The one casting out demons in his name
See them side by side
Mark 9:38-41
38John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for there is no one who will do a miracle in my name and be able soon after to speak evil of me. 40For whoever is not against us is for us. 41For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in the name that you belong to the Messiah, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.
49And John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” 50But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him; for whoever is not against you is for you.”
