For many false prophets have gone out into the world. / By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, / and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.

Acts 19:13-17 Now there were some itinerant Jewish exorcists who tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits.

Jesus is transfigured.11. He instructs his disciples concerning the coming of Elijah; 14. casts forth a deaf and mute spirit; 30. foretells his death and resurrection; 33. exhorts his disciples to humility; 38. bidding them not to prohibit such as are not against them, 42. nor to give offense to any of the faithful. Do not stop him In this phrase, Jesus is addressing His disciples, who had attempted to stop someone casting out demons in His name. The Greek word for "stop" is "kōlyō," which means to hinder or prevent. This instruction from Jesus emphasizes the importance of allowing others to work in His name, even if they are not part of the immediate group of disciples. It reflects a broader understanding of the Kingdom of God, where the work of Christ is not limited to a select few but is open to all who genuinely act in His name. Jesus replied For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me Lightly.--Literally, quickly. The words are wide-reaching in their range. The true disciples of Christ are to hinder no one who is really doing His work. The very fact that they do it will bring with it reverence and sympathy. They will not quickly be found among those who speak evil of the Son of Man. So of old Moses answered the prayer of Joshua that he would forbid Eldad and Medad to prophesy in the camp, "Would God that all the Lord's people were prophets" (Numbers 11:29). So St. Paul rejoiced that every way Christ was preached (Philippians 1:18). So too often have churches and their teachers not acted when men were doing the work of Christ, combating evil, relieving wants, in ways more or less irregular, or with faith more or less imperfect. In all such cases we need to remember the words "Forbid him not . . . he that is not against us is on our side." Verse 39. - But Jesus said, Forbid him not. It is as though our Lord said, "Do not forbid him; do not hinder him from a good work - a work which does honor to me and to my cause; because, although he does not actually follow me as you do, he is nevertheless engaged in the same cause; he is celebrating my Name by the casting out of evil spirits. Therefore he is not opposing my Name; on the contrary, he is publishing and recommending it." Here is a warning against that exclusive spirit, which is eager for its own ends rather than for Christ's glory, and would limit the exercise of his gifts and graces to its own system or school, instead of inquiring whether those whom it condemns are not working in Christ's name and for the promotion of his glory, although it may be allowable to think that in some instances they might find a more excellent way.Parallel Commentaries ...
