Jesus Forbids Sectarianism^(A)

^38 (B)Now John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

The Seventy Return with Joy

¹⁷ Then ^(A)the ^[a]seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

¹⁶ Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing ^(A)sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

⁷ For ^(A)unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.

¹⁸ And this she did for many days.

But Paul, ^(A)greatly ^[a]annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” ^(B)And he came out that very hour.
