KJV
Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννης· διδάσκαλε, εἴδομέν τινα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, ὃς οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν.
Greek NT
Jesus autem ait : Nolite prohibere eum : nemo est enim qui faciat virtutem in nomine meo, et possit cito male loqui de me :
Vulgate
John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.
ASV
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me.
