MARK 9:38-40, C. H. Cayce Sister V V Hankins, Sulligent, Ala., requests our views of Mark 9:38-40, and asks, “Did John mean that he did not believe like them, or did he mean that he would not follow them naturally?”John meant that the one referred to was not keeping company with them— he was not going along in the company of the disciples. This is made clearer in Luke 9:49, which says, “because he followeth not with us.” The Primitive Baptist, November 4, 1913.
