And Jesus said unto him, forbid him not,.... "Or forbid not" him, or any other so doing:
for he that is not against us, is for us: in two exemplars of Beza's it is read, "for he is not against you": the Vulgate Latin, and Syriac versions, instead of "us", in both clauses read "you", and so likewise the Persic and Ethiopic versions; See Gill on Mar 9:39, Mar 9:40.

47. perceiving the thought of their heart] He asked the subject of their dispute, and when shame kept them silent, He sat down, and calling a little child, made the Twelve stand around while He taught this solemn lesson.
took a child] This could not have been the future martyr St Ignatius, as legend says (Niceph.

H. E. ill. 38).
