Contextual Overview

⁴³They were all amazed [practically overwhelmed] at the [evidence of the] greatness of God and His majesty and His wondrous work. But while they were still awed by everything Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples, ⁴⁴"Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is going to be betrayed and handed over to men [who are His enemies]." ⁴⁵However, they did not understand this statement. Its meaning was kept hidden from them so that they would not grasp it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it. ⁴⁶An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest [surpassing the others in esteem and authority]. ⁴⁷But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and had him stand beside Him, ⁴⁸and He told them, "Whoever welcomes this child in My name welcomes Me; and whoever welcomes Me [also] welcomes Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you [that is, the one who is genuinely humble—the one with a realistic self-view]—he is the one who is [truly] great." ⁴⁹John replied, "Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name; and we tried to stop him because he does not follow along with us." ⁵⁰But Jesus told him, "Do not stop him; for he who is not against you is for you."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And John answered and said, Master,.... The Syriac and Persic versions read, "our Master":

we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him;

:-

Because he followeth not with us; the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, "because he followeth not thee with us"; did not join in company with them, and follow Christ along with them, and as they did.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 18:1-5. Compare Mark 9:33-38.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
