Luke 9 N.I.V.

Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time

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

⁵⁰ “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”  Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.  ⁴ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
