마가복음 9장 39-42절

그러나 예수께서는 이렇게 말씀하셨다. "막지 말아라. 내 이름으로 기적을 행하고 나서 쉬이 나를 욕할 사람은 아무도 없기 때문이다. 우리를 반대하지 않는 사람은 우리를 지지하는 사람이다.  내가 진정으로 너희에게 말한다. 너희가 그리스도의 사람이라고 해서 너희에게 물 한 잔이라도 주는 사람은, 절대로 자기가 받을 상을 잃지 않을 것이다." "또 나를 믿는 이 작은 사람들 가운데서 하나라도 죄짓게 하는 사람은, 차라리 그 목에 큰 맷돌을 달고 바다에 빠지는 편이 낫다._새번역성경

イエス は 言われた， 「やめさせないがよい． だれでもわたしの 名で 力あるわざを 行いながら， すぐそのあとで， わたしをそしることはできない．わたしたちに 反対しない 者は， わたしたちの 味方である．だれでも， キリスト についている 者だというので， あなたがたに 水一杯でも 飮ませてくれるものは， よく 言っておくが， 決してその 報いからもれることはないであろう．また， わたしを 信じるこれらの 小さい 者のひとりをつまずかせる 者は， 大きなひきうすを 首にかけられて 海に 投げ 込まれた 方が， はるかによい．_口語訳 

But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. "For he who is not against us is for us. "For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea._NASB

Jesus wasn’t pleased. “Don’t stop him. No one can use my name to do something good and powerful, and in the next breath slam me. If he’s not an enemy, he’s an ally. Why, anyone by just giving you a cup of water in my name is on our side. Count on it that God will notice. “On the other hand, if you give one of these simple, childlike believers a hard time, bullying or taking advantage of their simple trust, you’ll soon wish you hadn’t. You’d be better off dropped in the middle of the lake with a millstone around your neck._The Message
